Storia
Nick Falzone and Russell Bell are two air traffic controllers at New York's LaGuardia Airport who thrive on living dangerously and compete against each other in every aspect of their lives. They strive to outdo one another not just in their control booth duties but also in their personal lives, including pursuing the same woman, Mary, a former flight attendant. Their intense rivalry reaches a boiling point when they both try to take credit for successfully landing a plane in severe weather conditions, leading to tension between them and those around them.
