5.3/10
A plane carrying a weapon more dangerous than a nuclear weapon goes down near Greece.

The pilots are not to make themselves known and can't contact the rescue team. The secrecy causes a comedy of errors including the desolate Greek Isle deciding that since tourists have now arrived, they have to become touristy.
