Plot

When rogue stealth-fighter pilot Vic Deakins deliberately drops off the radar while on maneuvers, the Air Force ends up with two stolen nuclear warheads -- and Deakins's co-pilot, Riley Hale, is the military's only hope for getting them back. Traversing the deserted canyons of Utah, Hale teams with park ranger Terry Carmichael to put Deakins back in his box.

Sinekatalog’s take

John Woo's nuclear-heist actioner is loud, silly and lots of fun. Travolta chews scenery as the villain, and the film delivers train stunts and explosions with Woo's usual flair.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
