On leave from the war, U.S. Army helicopter pilot CW3 Sai thought he would finally get a good night's sleep without fear of attack. But his date with a beautiful Thai actress was interrupted - by an attack from the dead. In a matter of minutes, Sai was running with Yoon as the city of Bangkok tore itself apart. With helicopters flying overhead, F-16s screaming above, and tanks rolling through the streets, Sai and Yoon escape to a temple that becomes the living's last outpost in Asia. But hordes of the dead have gathered outside, trying to claw their way through the temple walls. Now all that stands between life and gruesome death is the helicopter fleet known as "Dead Air."
