Tar al Bazid sees his Saudi village ravaged by jets, bombs and bullets. This leads him on a murderous quest for payback. He and his band of seasoned terrorist soldiers attack and board the Valiant off the coast of Miami, with the intention of blowing her up next to the United Nations Complex in New York during a multi-national peace conference.
