The phrase "PINNACLE - BROKEN ARROW" is not actually used to refer to the
theft, loss or seizure of nuclear weapons or components from the U.S.; that's known as a "PINNACLE - EMPTY QUIVER". A "PINNACLE - BROKEN ARROW" is the situation when a warhead has been accidentally detonated or jettisoned (not risking nuclear war). Although at the time the phrase was used in the film, it was assumed that the nuclear warheads were jettisoned and the crash was due to pilot error, and the weapons were not stolen.
