Le monde est une jungle, il n'y a pas d'exception à cette règle.
Depuis la fin de la guerre de Corée, Jeb Logan vit dans une petite ville d'Équateur, où il travaille comme pilote pour les visiteurs de passage. Quand une célèbre chanteuse fait appel à lui afin de rejoindre le rancho familial avec son fils, il accepte, malgré le mauvais pressentiment qui l'anime. Et qui finit par se réaliser: alors que le groupe vient au secours d'un homme poursuivi par des Jivaros, le moteur de son hydravion est touché par un projectile.
Pour survivre dans la jungle menaçante, les membres de cet équipage désespéré devront lutter contre la nature - et les uns contre les autres.
Un huis clos sous tension hautement cinématographique. -
