Plot
Three death row prisoners escape from the jail and hijack a plane where Abdul Salim (Laxmi Rattan), a scientist, owns a miracle drug. The pilot (Napoleon), instead of listening to the hijackers' instruction, manages to land in the Kashmir mountain. There, Snobir (Mansoor Ali Khan), a sadistic terrorist leader threatens the passengers for recovering the drugs. The pilot and the national boxing champion Pailwan (Arun Pandian) plan to save the passengers and try to escape but they are caught during the plan taken as prisoners. Both attack and kill many terrorists; everyone escapes with them everything goes smoothly until an ambush occurs on a bridge so the brave Pailwan sacrifices himself to save the pilot and the passengers.
Elsewhere, the short-tempered Sakthivel (Vijayakanth) who is a family friend of Abdul Salim, and Abdul Salim's daughter Shakeela (Ranjitha) plan to save everyone so they find their crashed plane and they enter as prisoners. Sakthivel also lies that he is the scientist and tells the terrorist head to release everyone. The film ends with Sakthivel single-handedly killing all the terrorists and saving the day.
