Lloyd Buck addestra aquile e falchi da 20 anni e i suoi volatili sono apparsi in una serie di programmi di natura. Come tante persone, anche lui è affascinato dalla velocità con cui riescono a volare i falchi pellegrini. Usando dei micro-accelerometri dei paracaduti e delle mongolfiere sulle più grandi scogliere del mondo, Llyod parte alla ricerca della risposta a quell'antico quesito.
