When a renegade Russian general sends a nuclear bomb hurtling toward the Middle East aboard a hijacked train, special agents are dispatched to disarm the deadly device. Ten tons of steel and one ounce of hot plutonium are now riding roughshod through Europe. With time running out, the agents launch a desperate, bullet-packed assault on a deadly moving target piloted by a cold-blooded mercenary.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Pierce Brosnan's second attempt at a Bond-like role after losing 007 to Dalton—he'd finally claim the Walther PPK two years later in GoldenEye.
Shot in 1992, this captures peak post-Soviet villain anxiety—Russian generals with loose nukes were the sharknados of their day.
