Storyline
When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot recruits a young analyst to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians. Written by Sujit R. Varma

Trivia
During the opening, a nuclear bomb is shown being rolled out to be loaded onto an Israeli A-4 Skyhawk. However, the bomb designed for the scene could not be physically carried by the A-4 so the subsequent scenes of the plane had to have a CGI bomb attached in post-production. See more »Goofs
After the bomb explodes, the President's limo is flipped upside down, and a team of Marines is sent to rescue him. As the CH-53 lands, the Marines run out of the back of the helo in all directions (both left and right). This would not be possible on an actual CH-53, as the CH-53 has a low tail rotor mounted on the pilot's side of the aircraft. See more »Quotes

I read the book "The Sum of All Fears" with fascination--Palestenians discover an Isreali nuclear device lost when the aircraft is shot down in the six day war, sell it to Al Queda, and the arab terrorists proceed to blow up Denver with said nuke.
I was very much looking forward to this movie, only to find that for fear of offending Al Queda, the director and screenwriters had substituted some ridiculous plot about German Nazi's and turned the whole thing into a melodramatic hash.
This could have been a GREAT, prophetic, movie. instead it became a silly waste of money and talent. I know Tom Clancy hated the movie, so did I.
