Alpha Strike

Top Gun: Maverick meets Flight of the Old Dog in Alpha Strike, a modern military thriller with an unlikely cast of heroes-each with something to prove.

When China launches a devastating ambush against the USS John F Kennedy, America is desperate to strike back. There's just one problem-thanks to a terrifyingly effective malware upload, every jet in the American armed forces has been disabled, leaving the US helpless in the skies.

Well … almost every jet. The malware knocked everything with a wifi connection out of the air, but the prior generation of fighter and attack jets-including Hornets, Tomcats, and Intruders-were never connected to the network to begin with. Suddenly, combat jets once deemed obsolete are America's only remaining hope to avert World War 3. There's just one problem: the only pilots with experience in their cockpits haven't flown in years.

With only one week before total disaster, an unlikely collection of pilots is convened for a top secret mission. Some are long-retired aces, brought back from civilian life to serve their country one last time. Others are young up-and-comers, trained on aircraft far more advanced than those they'll now have to pilot. But whatever their age or skills, the mission is the same: put aside their differences, master the legendary aircraft that represent the country's last hope, and take the fight to China in an against-all-odds counterattack that might just save the world … if it doesn't get them all killed.
