Synopsis/Details
When NYPD Detective Jimmy Larsen apprehends the paranoid Jeremiah Wolfzangel, fleeing a brutal murder scene, he thinks he's just busted a warped serial killer responsible for a string of recent homicides.
A nefarious Interpol agent intervenes, claiming Wolfzangel is just a thief, not a killer, albeit one who's masterminded a series of high-end museum heists. Extradition is arranged, back to Romania.
Jimmy is none too pleased and insists on transporting the suspect back to Europe himself. He's accompanied by Professor Franz Lovecraft and his beautiful daughter, Rebecca. The latter is a forensic psychiatrist, the former, a noted scholar on the ancient artifacts that Wolfzangel has allegedly pilfered and hidden away. Rebecca hopes to cure Wolfzangel of his "night terrors" and in the process help to recover the stolen loot.
But this is no ordinary prisoner... and as they reach the midway point in their trip, halfway over the Atlantic, under the brilliant beams of a full moon, a startling transformation begins... A sickly Wolfzangel begins to change, right before their very stunned eyes. Bones writhe under skin, a face contorts into a snarling mask ... Fangs are bared, claws explode forward-- Jimmy is face to face with... A werewolf.
Pandemonium ensues in the cramped space, as Wolfzangel begins a horrifying rampage. It's an unrelenting, blood-thirsty mauling that is unleashed on the harried travelers...
And there's nowhere to go!
An over matched Jimmy scrambles to the aid of Rebecca and her father, while Air Marshal Klaus Kingery, quickly reveals himself to be more than meets the eye, leading the counter-offensive amidst the chaos, with an array of silver nitrate darts from a special gun. But with such close proximity to the full moon, Wolfzangel basks in its regenerative power and the weapon has little effect. Wolfzangel continues his vicious attack, backing them toward the flight deck, cornering them near the cockpit.
In their darkest hour, with the snarling monster approaching, Lovecraft reveals the existence of a talisman in his possession, one that may just reverse the wolf-man's condition. But stored within his checked suitcase, it rests two levels down, in the cargo hold.
As Kingery bravely guards the cockpit against Wolfzangel, Jimmy must lead a daring mission to retrieve the supposedly magical amulet. But when they get past a panicked mob of passengers, not to mention a newly transformed pack of "Wolflings" spawned from them, little do they know an even greater threat awaits them below deck... Markus, a mysterious coach passenger, has pried his way into a coffin in storage with the hope of reviving an ancient vampire chieftain.
Caught in between a centuries old feud, Jimmy may have to choose between the lesser of two horrors if he's to save the desperate passengers of...
Transylvania Air Flight 1313.
At 30,000 feet, The War on Horror begins...
