Two trains collide in rural Russia, one of them housing nuclear weapons that go missing after the wreck, and the U.S. government is alerted. Nuclear specialist Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman) believes that there will soon be a terrorist attack, so Lt. Col. Thomas Devoe (George Clooney) joins Dr. Kelly as they try to track down the warhead-stealing culprits. They learn that Yugoslav terrorist Gavrich (Marcel Iures) has his hands on the weapons, and he's plotting a devastating attack on New York.

Newsweek

Leder tries to bring a sense of grief to a body-count-happy genre, but you can't have it both ways. Every time Kidman and Clooney take a break from their movie-star bantering to mourn a death, it rings hollow.

Common Sense Media

Exhausting in its globetrotting action yet tiresome with cliches, the film takes an almighty swing but only grazes the knuckles of being a film with lasting sustenance.

Rated: 3/5

Armin Mueller-Stahl has an uncustomarily sympathetic role as an old friend of Clooney.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Quality thriller that goes about its business with a monumentally impressive bluster.

mark g You have to reward ambition. And this movie is major league ambitious. Huge budget, a ton of different locations, explosives, it is your prototypical blockbuster. Yeah, the two leads can get a little full of themselves sometimes, but still decent flick. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Al K Kidman and Clooney were good. The movie needed better writers and director. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Micky S I just watched the movie again and found the Nicole Kidman character to be a milk toast. She was the one in charge but handed her power over to the Man. This really annoyed me but otherwise I enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T My fav action movie 🙆🏻‍♀️. Aint gonna bored. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Rosana B Nicole lindamente irreconhecível, morena, mulher empoderada em cargo de liderança, amamos... Uma boa trama de suspense, digamos que bem vibe anos 90, Supercine e afins, não envelheceu tão mal assim, mas se torna menos interessante com o tempo, apesar da temática ser sempre atual, terrorismo, guerra nuclear, EUA salvadores da pátria, digo, mundo, boa cenas de ação, efeitos ok também, tudo muito receita do bolo, mais do mesmo… Rápido, ágil, explosivo, regular e básico... Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Geke g Never thought John Cena gonna act in this pro level. Congrats to movie stars and rest of the crews. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
