U.S. Navy pilots Ben Gannon, Kara Wade and Henry Purcell are part of a close-knit elite division 
of test pilots flying highly classified stealth fighter jets, referred to only as Talons. They're 
the best of the best and they know it. Then their commanding officer Cpt. George Cummings introduces 
the team to their new wingman--an artificial intelligence-based UCAV, nicknamed "EDI." Although Ben 
is hesitant about taking "the human pilot out of the equation of war," Cummings orders the team to 
execute their first real mission alongside "EDI." To their amazement, "EDI" proves to be a cracker-jack 
wingman and they successfully eliminate their target. But on the return trip to their base aboard the 
aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson, "EDI" is struck by lightning. The drone's brain expands in ways 
its creators could never have predicted. Despite Ben and Henry's reservations, Cummings declares "EDI" 
ready to rejoin the team in the air. On their next mission against a nuclear-armed warlord in a remote 
Chinese province, "EDI's" seriously compromised circuitry problems only get worse. Ben decides that the 
risks of the attack far outweigh the benefits to himself, Henry and Kara, (for whom he has developed a 
romantic attraction). When he aborts the mission, "EDI" goes against orders and executes the hit anyway. 
The danger escalates when "EDI" decides to execute a top-secret mission that, if successful, could 
spiral into worldwide nuclear Armageddon. And only Ben can prevent it.

==========

In the near future, the Navy develops a fighter jet piloted by an artificial intelligence computer. The 
jet is placed on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific to learn combat manuevers from the human pilots 
aboard. But when the computer develops a mind of its own, it's the humans who are charged with stopping 
it before it incites a war.
