Capo di una formidabile armata motorizzata, il ribelle Guerera ricatta i paesi produttori di petrolio mirando a diventare arbitro del destino del mondo. Risultata vana ogni resistenza della Gamibia, paese tra i più minacciati, il mondo libero decide di far scendere in campo Megaforce, l'unità mobile da combattimento composta da impavidi combattenti addestrati a tutte le tecniche della guerra. Il generale Byrne-White e Zara, rappresentanti dell'esercito di Gamibia, visitano la base segreta di Megaforce in California e, apprezzate le doti degli uomini del comandante Ace Hunter, con lui decidono il piano di guerra. Megaforce, aviotrasportata in Medio Oriente, deve agire senza poter contare sull'appoggio del governo locale, restio a compromettersi troppo, e, scelta una zona desertica come base operativa, si prepara a fronteggiare l'offensiva di Guerera.
