Storia
Former Navy SEAL Rod Armstrong (Frank Zagarino), now living in Moscow and training an elite Russian anti-terrorist squad under Colonel Zukov (Richard Lynch), receives a surprise visit from his former trainer Bob Taylor (Charles Napier). Bob has married Susan (Kimberley Kates), who was also trained by him. Bob is on a secret mission to discover the destination of nuclear missiles seen leaving a mysterious base near Moscow. He believes Armstrong's help is crucial in uncovering this information.
Bob brings with him a video tape showing the missiles, but he is murdered shortly after arriving in Moscow. It's now up to Armstrong and Susan, along with a Russian soldier, to bring those responsible to justice and prevent the missiles from falling into the wrong hands. The story involves action, drama, and a die-hard scenario as they navigate the dangerous landscape of Cold War espionage.

When his old mentor Bob Taylor arrives with his wife Susan on a supposedly friendly visit but harboring a secret mission to track nuclear missiles seen leaving a Russian base, things quickly turn deadly.
The movie explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the blurred lines between allies during times of political tension. It also touches on the dangers of unchecked power, as exemplified by the ruthless Colonel Zukov who commands Armstrong's trainees.
