Airwolf

While demonstrating the capabilities of the new prototype supercopter codenamed Airwolf, Dr. Charles Moffet goes rogue, steals the chopper and kills almost all of the observers. At least one man -- Michael Coldsmith Briggs III survives. Briggs, codenamed Archangel is the head of a covert organization called The Firm and Archangel calls upon the one man in the world he knows that can retrieve the copter. The problem is Stringfellow Hawke is not only a loner, but a recluse as well. The amount of money the Firm is willing to pay for Airwolfs recovery is irrelevant. Hawke wants just one thing - the safe return of his brother, Saint John, who was captured during the Vietnam war and is evidently a POW.

An ambitious executive at the Firm makes a subversive play for Archangels job. A bomb is planted aboard a vintage helicopter owned by Dominic Santini and hes forced to crash land. When Hawke and Archangel go hunting for Dom, Airwolf is ambushed and shot down. The two must convince a group of locals to help them repair their damaged tail rotor. Complicating matters on Doms end, he must contend with a stowaway aboard his chopper -- a young girl searching for her dad.

Also in the mix is an old Vietnam buddy of Hawkes, Marty Vidor, who is working as a mercenary for South Limbawe, and Hawke is hesitant to take him on since Vidor just may know the location of the missing Saint John.

Archangel warns String about a zealous government bureaucrat named D.G. Bogard who will stop at nothing until he finds Airwolf.
