Storyline
Bomber terrorist's elevator plan backfires, so he rigs a bomb to a LA city bus. The stipulation is: once armed, the bus must stay above 50 mph to keep from exploding. Also if LAPD Officer tries to unload any passengers off, Payne will detonate it. Joe Morton co-stars as Jack's superior, and Jeff Daniels supports Jack helping him try to defuse the bomb.

Trivia
Glenn Plummer's driver's license was taken away two days before his scene was scheduled to be filmed. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After the first bus blows up, Jack is on the phone with the bomber. The bomber gives Jack a deadline of 11am, after which Jack looks at his watch. The time on Jack's watch shows 8:05, but that's not the time of day. Above the numbers on the watch are the letters AL, which means it's on the Alarm setting. 8:05 is the time the watch alarm was set for, not the time of day. See more »Quotes
