Premise
S&M TV is a pirate television station, broadcasting from a B-29 plane by a group of disgruntled Vietnam war veterans. After many years, the crew considers accepting an offer of amnesty, broadcasting legitimately, and going back to more normal lives. However, as the US Presidential campaign is starting, the captain of the plane decides S&M has a last job to do: to prevent the pro-war conservative candidate from winning the election.
