The movie starts with Fort Greely in Alaska being attacked by unknown terrorists, reported by survivors as 'one of our own'. 

Apparently, The US has two interceptor launch sites aimed at intercepting any nuclear warhead launches. The first is Fort Greely - the one that was taken by terrorists. Another site is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with location stated as 'unknown'. As Fort Greely is under siege and taken, 16 nuclear warheads are stolen from Russia. Now, the US has only 1 interceptor site to intercept the warheads, should the terrorists decide to launch them towards the US.

Capt. J.J. Collins is being transferred to the secret interceptor site - without any notice, following the result of her complaint of sexual harassment by one of her superiors towards her. Before she was transferred to the site, she was bullied by her peers in the military as the military doesn't like whistleblower. 

She is immediately in action when the site receives word of the potential nuclear attack. Not long after she sits in  the control room, the site is attacked by terrorists, led by Alex Kessel, aiming to maim the interceptor so that his counterparts could point the nuclear warheads towards 16 cities in the US.

Being that the site is a secret and unknown site, how did Alex and his partners infiltrate the site? Can J.J and her comrades defend the final interceptor site from the bad guys?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 I watched the movie with no expectation. And I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. 

But towards the end, it seemed a bit rush. 

Cast: 4.0/ 5.0 Everyone delivered.

Will I Watch It Again: I probably will, but not in the near future.

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
