When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot recruits a young analyst to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians.

The film doesn't pretend to be about anything other than action — and that's an honest position. The director constructs scenes with a feel for space, pace, and rhythm.
If you love the genre — this is a solid specimen. If you're indifferent to action — there's nothing extraordinary here to convert you.
Good choice for group viewing when you want to watch rather than think.
Director: Phil Alden Robinson
