Synopsis
Après trois mois de mission au large de l'Afrique, le porte-avions Clemenceau rentre vers l'arsenal de Brest. Soudain, il reçoit l'ordre de faire demi-tour et de prendre les dispositions d'alerte. Nul ne sait exactement de quoi il s'agit. Il est vaguement question d'une nouvelle tension Est-Ouest. Le lieutenant de vaisseau Gaillac et ses pilotes d'Étendard IV rallient le porte-avions qu'ils avaient quitté quelques heures plus tôt, mais Majo, la tête brûlée du groupe, invoque un problème personnel et manque le départ. Pendant ce temps, à bord, l'alerte maximale est déclenchée avec avionnage des armements nucléaires. La tension et l'énervement montent jusqu'à ce que Ravesne, le commandant du bâtiment, apprenne enfin par son ami Bricourt de quoi il est question : un satellite de nationalité et de technologie inconnues est brutalement apparu dans le ciel et affole les états-majors de toutes les grandes nations.Actors
