Act Of Piracy (1988)
Ted Andrews (Gary Busey) is a man on the edge. Not only has his marriage collapsed but the ex-Vietnam search-and-destroy expert finds his Florida real estate empire tottering. Desperate for cash he is forced to sell his only remaining asset a 110 foot motor yacht, Barracuda.
Ted arranges to deliver the Barracuda to its new owner in Australia accompanied by his girlfriend Laura (Nancy Mulford) and his two young children. A few hours out of Florida, a speedboat pursues the ship. Laura systematically shoots and kills the Barracuda`s crew and other passengers and takes aim at Ted. Before she can fire, he is struck by a bullet from the speedboat and tumbles into the sea. The children are spared death and held hostage by the mercenaries, led by Jack Wilcox (Ray Sharkey), proving to be a perfect cover for their scheme. Ted is rescued and flown to a mainland hospital, unaware of any involvement by Laura.
In Harare, Zimbabwe, Wilcox and Laura meet with Philip O`Connor, an arms broker purchasing weapons for a revolt in Madagascar. Wilcox is to pick up the weapons and deliver them using the barracuda, but before he leaves Zimbabwe he sees Ted and Sandy`s plea for help on television.
Ted and Sandy fly to Africa desperately hoping to find their children and prove that they have become a family with unbeatable resolve.
