Global terrorists gather in Beirut to plan an attack on America. They plan to attack the Super Bowl. American special forces attack the hideout but the plan is already set in motion. Dahlia (Marthe Keller) is the terrorist. Lander (Bruce Dern) is her American accomplice. Israeli Kabakov (Robert Shaw) leads the pursuit.
This is a brutal thriller from both sides. I'm a little surprised that the good guys are willing to go torture up some info. I wouldn't say that it's that thrilling. It has plenty of action. It doesn't have the standard twists and turns. The story flows in a straight forward manner. If they add in more shaky-cam action, this would be a modern thriller. The use of the actual Super Bowl really adds to its authenticity. In the pre-9/11 world, this would have been outlandish terrorism and threatening torture something unthinkable.
