The Story
In a nondescript
boxing ring, two fighters square off. Suddenly, fists
in boxing gloves rush at each other --
and us -- with explosive force.
The intensity
of the combatant's blows belies the fact that they are
friends engaging in a spirited round of
fisticuffs. Vic Deakins (JOHN
TRAVOLTA), the older and more experienced
of the two is definitely in
control, giving his young friend Riley
Hale (CHRISTIAN SLATER) an
impressive, if painful, boxing lesson.
In addition
to having a mentor/protege relationship in the ring,
Deakins and Hale are colleagues -- crack
military pilots who are about to
be handed a choice assignment to fly the
top-secret B-3 Stealth bomber
on a test run. Their cargo: two nuclear
warheads. Although anything but
routine, the mission should go without
incident. But a shocking treachery
is about to put millions of lives at risk
... as the timer on an incredible
nuclear extortion plot ticks toward ground
zero.
In an instant,
the once close friends become engaged in an explosive
battle against time and each other with
the fate of a major American city
at stake. In the air and on the ground,
in planes, on tops of trains, and
clinging to careening Humvees, theirs
is a no-holds-barred race to
recover a lost nuclear weapon -- a "BROKEN
ARROW."
