In Russia due treni si scontrano, uno è carico di passeggeri l'altro di armi nucleari. Il terrorista autore dell'attentato riesce a trafugare la notevole quantità di materiale nucleare che gli servirà per organizzare un attentato alla sede dell'ONU a New York. Julia Kelly un fisico nucleare e Thomas Devoe colonnello dei servizi segreti, assumono l'incarico di dirigere le operazioni atte a scongiurare l'attentato.
