During the Viet Nam War the twenty million dollar military payroll on Okinawa was paid in small, unmarked bills, yet delivered from base to base on a single helicopter. On payday, everyone waited for the flight called The Money Run. In 1971, helicopter pilot Captain Jack Higgins, stationed in Vietnam, flies stateside as a funeral escort for his fallen Marine Corps brother. The official cause of death is from enemy fire, but the actual cause is selective scheduling. The perpetrator, Lt.Col. Fred Bedford, has so far eliminated four Marine brothers. With only three left, Jack vows revenge against Bedford, the military, and their treatment back home. He's going to execute the biggest heist in military history: the $20 million payroll on Okinawa. Jack is assigned to the money run, the helicopter carrying all of the small, unmarked bills. His brothers, with motives of their own, join forces with him. All is well with the plan until he meets Air Force Captain Ellen Stevens and falls in love. Now he's torn. Can he take the money and still keep Ellen? He has eight weeks to figure it out. The clock is ticking and The Money Run is waiting.
