As Frank sets out to stop the terrorists and deactivate the bomb, he faces several obstacles, including the terrorists and a group of rogue U.S. soldiers who want to use the bomb for their own purposes. Complicating matters further, one of the terrorists is a former lover of Frankâs, who he must confront and turn against her fellow terrorists.
