Synopsis:
When a train carrying atomic warheads mysteriously crashes in the former Soviet Union, brilliant US nuclear specialist Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman) discovers the accident is really part of a diabolical plot to cover up the theft of these weapons. Assigned to help her recover the explosives is crack Special Forces Colonel Thomas Devoe (George Clooney), whose brash, take-no-prisoners style clashes with Kelly's more diplomatic approach. Putting aside their personal differences - and their budding romance - together they race against time and as they track the last remaining warhead to the steps of the United Nations.

Excellent Action Thriller - The Peacemaker review by GI

Spoiler Alert
20/01/2025

This is what a good action thriller should be like. A great story, exciting set piece action sequences, car chases, two charismatic leads who don't have to get it on with each other for the film to work. This film rattles along at a breakneck speed and it's thoroughly great entertainment from start to finish. The plot centres around the theft of nuclear bombs involving a dissident Russian General and a Croatian terrorist. The Americans save the day with nuclear expert Dr Kelly (Nicole Kidman) aided by maverick military intelligence man Devoe (George Clooney - proving his action star credentials). The story flits around Europe, has a fantastic Bondian car chase in Vienna, a helicopter attack sequence and climactic and tense hunt for the terrorist in Manhattan. Yes there's plot holes and if you stop to think about it too much it's all way over the top but it doesn't matter because it's a really good action movie with some very memorable scenes including a night time attack on a train with the red eyes from the night vision goggles of the thieves that you'll remember for ages afterwards. If you've never seen this then check it out you won't be disappointed.
