Leta 1973 je izraelska vojska izgubila borec z jedrsko raketo, ki so ga izstrelile sovražne sile. Rakete ni bilo nikoli več najti. Devetindvajset let pozneje ga stari Arabin najde na pol pokopanega in zapuščenega na Golanu ter ga proda najemniku s povezavami z neonacističnimi potenciali. Hkrati v Rusiji prihaja do nove menjave predsednika in novi vodja, komaj znan, ne vzbuja popolnega zaupanja za CIA ... Nova in vznemirljiva pustolovščina za agenta CIA Jacka Ryana (zdaj ga igra Ben Afflecka in prej sta ga zaživela Alec Baldwin in Harrison Ford). Film je imel polemiko tako, da se je problematike terorizma lotil apokaliptično, ko je bil spomin na 11. september še svež. Še več, v romanu Toma Clancyja so bili teroristi muslimanski fanatiki, toda producenti so se v adaptaciji filma odločili, da jih bodo "zamenjali" z neonacističnimi teroristi.
Leta 1962 je bil Calvin Webber genialen, a tudi sila čudaški znanstvenik s preganjavico, ki je s soprogo Helen živel v Los Angelesu. Sredi napete politične krize s kubanskimi balističnimi izstrelki je na njuno dvorišče treščilo letalo. Webberjeva sta eksplozijo zamenjala za bombni napad in se nemudoma zatekla v vrhunsko podzemno zaklonišče, da bi bila varna pred jedrskim žarčenjem. Tam se je rodil in pozneje odrastel njun sin Adam. Po 35 letih ga starša naposled pošljeta na površje po zaloge hrane in ženo zanj – po možnosti čedno dekle, ki ne bi bilo mutantka, s pomočjo katere bi "vnovič poselil uničeni planet"...
