An American fighter squadron encounters an alien spaceship in the Bermuda Triangle, and one plane is shot down. About 30 years later the plane is recovered, but government authorities do not allow the pilot's son, Dallas (Michael Madsen), to see it. Meanwhile, Dallas' daughter, Lisa (Erica Everage), is contacted by an alien woman (Shelli Lether) who teaches Lisa to use her psychic powers. Lisa is then captured by government agents who want to use her psychic abilities to help in future space flights. Dallas must now attempt to get his daughter back–with the help of the alien.
