The Peacemaker (1997 film)

The Peacemaker is a 1997 American actionthriller film starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman and directed by Mimi Leder. It was the first film released by DreamWorks. While the story takes place all over the world, it was shot primarily in the Republic of Macedonia, with some sequences filmed in New York, Philadelphia, and Bratislava.

At a missile base in Chelyabinsk, Russia, SS18 ICBMs are being decommissioned. Ten nuclear warheads are loaded onto a train and sent to a separate site for dismantling. However, a highranking Russian general, Aleksandr Kodoroff, has other plans. Along with a rogue tactical unit, he kills all the soldiers on board the transport train and then transfers nine of the warheads to another train. Kodoroff then activates the timer on the remaining warhead and sends the transport on a collision course with a passenger train. Minutes later, the 500kiloton warhead detonates, killing the survivors and delaying an investigation.The detonation immediately attracts the attention of the U.S. government. White House nuclear expert Dr. Julia Kelly Kidman believes that Chechen terrorists are behind the incident. U.S. Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Devoe Clooney interrupts her briefing to suggest that the crash and detonation were staged to hide the hijacking of the other warheads on board. A call to Devoes longtime friend and Russian counterpart, Dimitri Vertikoff MuellerStahl, adds credence to his hypothesis and he is assigned as Dr. Kellys military liaison. ........
