Deux copains décident de profiter des vacances, de l'été pour aller faire une virée en voiture. Avec leur 8000 couronnes, ils dénichent une Mazda 626 coupé 1600 qu'ils transforment en cabriolet décoré de plaques françaises pour que la police leur fiche la paix. Et les voilà partis au hasard: vers l'est, vers l'ouest: peu importe la campagne est très jolie des deux côtés et comme le dit la chanson «Nous trouverons un endroit où on fume à l'aise, où le soleil ne chauffe pas trop les bouteilles, où le vent disperse autour de nous des crottes d'oiseaux, où on peut goûter ce qu'on préfère et regarder tranquillement si quelqu'un arrive, quelqu'un qui sait que nous sommes assis là et qui dira "Salut les gars"»

The movie centers on three flight crew members of a USAF Air Rescue Service HU-16 Albatross and various experiences in their collective pasts, told in flashback. Some have considered the flashbacks as tedious and boring, but the aircraft sequences are generally considered quite good, especially for fans of the Grumman Albatross. Richard Widmark plays Colonel Stevenson (the pilot in command); Yul Brynner portrays Master Sergeant Mike Takashima (the Pararescue specialist) and George Chakiris portrays the co-pilot, Lieutenant Gregg.
