An American nuclear sub... A sky full of Russian paratroopers... A race for the secret of Ice Station Zebra!

A top-secret Soviet spy satellite -- using stolen Western technology -- malfunctions and then goes into a descent that lands it near an isolated Arctic research encampment called Ice Station Zebra, belonging to the British, which starts sending out distress signals before falling silent.
