查理·普拉姆是一名越战时期的美国海军喷气机飞行员。他曾成功地连续执行了74次战斗任务。然而，在第75次任务中，他的F-4“鬼怪Ⅱ”战斗机被一发地对空导弹炸毁，他被弹射了出去。唯一能把他从近在咫尺的死亡当中挽救回来的就是那个他祈祷能打开的降落伞。
Charlie Plumb was a U.S. Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. He flew 74 consecutive successful combat missions. However on his 75th mission, his F-4 Phantom I1 fighter was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile and he was forced to eject. The only thing between him and imminent death was his parachute that he prayed would open. The parachute did open and Charlie made it down to the ground alive, but he was captured and spent six years as a prisoner of war in a Vietnamese prison camp.
