    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      George Clooney did most of his own stunts. Mimi Leder called him "fearless."
    • Goofs
      Why is the incorrect latitude "44E" even on the shipping records? Even if the terrorists were the ones who rented the truck, what possible purpose would placing this incriminating clue on the rental serve, especially as the truck was going to Iran, not New York?
    • Quotes
      • Thomas Devoe: Doctor, you can run your charts and your theories all you want. In the field, this is how it works: the good guys, that's us, we chase the bad guys. And they don't wear black hats. They are, however, all alike: they demand power, and respect, and they're willing to pay top dollar to get it. And that is our highly motivated buyer.
      • Julia Kelly: What about other motivations?
      • Thomas Devoe: Not important to me.
      • Julia Kelly: Whether it's important to you or not, there are people out there who don't care about money, who don't give a damn about respect. People who believe the killing of innocent men and women is justified. For them it is about rage, frustration, hatred... they feel pain and they're determined to share it with the world.
      • Thomas Devoe: Okay, that does me no good. Now let's deal with the facts at hand. 23 hours ago, General Alexander Kodoroff stole ten nuclear warheads.
      • Julia Kelly: He's just a delivery boy. I'm not afraid of the man who wants ten nuclear weapons, Colonel. I'm terrified of the man who only wants one.
    • Alternate versions
      TBS and TNT broadcasts eliminate all references to CNN, including putting a colored square over the CNN logo when it appears on screen.
