A Cold War-era action thriller built on geopolitical stakes and tactical combat, driven by high-octane momentum rather than character depth or moral complexity.

Terrorists take over a plutonium bomb and threaten to detonate it in a Saudi Arabian oil field. A special anti-terrorist unit is sent in to stop them.
