| After the discovery of a damaged Israeli nuclear bomb which had gone missing in 1973, Arabs, who got their hands on this weapon of mass destruction, seek the help of a German scientist who helps them replicate the bomb in order for it to be used against the United States, after a treaty which is meant to settle the war against Israel and Arabians displeases them.
As the engineering process of the weapon is complete, the Arabs, plan to use the weapon in a Super Bowl game in Denver, where hundreds of thousands of lives will be lost, and will start a nuclear war between the United States and Russians, since suspicion always arouses on the largest competitor. Its up to DDCI Jack Ryan to uncover the most threatening terrorist acts of all time, and stop this crisis from occurring, or else, a third world war will begin. The Americans suspect the Russians for this act of terrorism. The Russians deny any involvement in the whole affair, however, the situation calls for immediate inquiry. Jack already has enough on his head, but he must also save his marriage, as well as save himself physically. | ||
