    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown are husband and wife in real life. This marks their fourth on-screen collaboration.
    • Goofs
      When they walk around in protective suits in Anchorage, their only concern is their limited air supply. Suits do not protect from gamma rays; they only stop getting yourself contaminated with radiation-emitting particles. Thus the time being exposed to radiation should be more critical than air supply.
    • Quotes
      • Cmdr. Dwight Towers: I carried warheads on my boat. That is correct. I was damn proud of it too. I served my country the best way I know how. And the only question I ask myself these days and I'm asking it every single millisecond now whatever the hell's left of what I've got, if where was I, where were you? Where were any of us? 'Cause I don't know what the hell two insane nations were doing facing each other down all those years. All that had to be done was that the brains, you know, the rational minds, the so-called best, you know all they had to do was just come, just come, come to the tables, negotiate, break a little bread. Do you know we had a combined arsenal of sixty-five thousand nuclear warheads. I have failed to find the logic in that. No logic.
