Beskrivelse
CIA operative John Clark forms a secret multi-national counter-terrorist unit known as Rainbow. Based in Hereford, United Kingdom, the unit consists of two operational squads composed of elite soldiers from NATO countries, and is supplemented by intelligence and technological experts from MI6, Mossad, and FBI. Clark is the commanding officer, son-in-law Domingo Chavez leads one of the two squads, and the second in command is Special Air Service (SAS) officer Alistair Stanley. The first deployment of Rainbow involves Chavez’s squad in the rescue of hostages during a botched bank robbery in Bern, Switzerland. Several weeks later, they are deployed to Austria, where a group of left-wing German terrorists have taken over the schloss of a wealthy Austrian businessman in order to obtain imaginary “special access codes” to the international trading markets. Their third deployment involves a hostage situation in an amusement park in Spain, where a group of French terrorists take a group of children hostage and demand that various prisoners, including Carlos the Jackal, be released.
