The Sum of All Fears
27,000 nuclear weapons. One is missing.
Directed by Phil Alden Robinson
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Mace Neufeld Productions
A high-stakes geopolitical thriller built on nuclear paranoia and the fog of war, where miscommunication and distrust threaten global catastrophe.
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.
