A resurging Nazi group obtains a nuclear bomb and plans to use it to get the U.S. and Russia to go to war.

A plot that seems overwhelmingly complicated early on eventually settles in well enough for the average guy to grasp the important particulars. A steady increase in tension and pace drive the film. The script is so-so, feating some good and not-so-good dialogue.

I was left a bit turned off by what I consider a grand continuity miscue surrounding the Jack Ryan character. How can he be 26ish in 2002 when he was 45ish in Clear and Present Danger in 1994?

Largely a successful feature but not on the top self of action/suspense flicks.

Directed by Phil Alden Robinson.
