A train leaves a Russian military base, carrying former Soviet Union nuclear weapons. They are to be decommissioned and destroyed. Along the way, a team of shadowy soldiers kills everyone and takes the nukes. They leave one, which denotates and destorys the evidence after it collides with another train full of innocent civilians. In Washington DC, a brillant young nuclear weapons expert Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman), believes that it wasnt an accident. She convinces the top Washinton brass, who assign Lt. Colonel Tom Devoe (George Clooney), a smooth, but effective Special Forces officer to aid her. Together, they work to find the missing nukes, untangling them in a mission that involves the U.N. and a Bosian diplomat, whos family was killed at Sarajavo's imfamous sniper valley.
The early (and outdated) Colt CAR-15 assault rifles are seen in the hands of a Special Forces Operator and a FBI agent. The SF’s CAR has a M203 launcher attached to it.
This unknown weapon is seen being used by the driver of the truck. He uses it twice, once to blow up a Russian Border Patrol, the again to shoot at Devoe’s chopper, but he shoots the floor of his truck, which blows up, killing him.
The Glock 17 is seen being used by a security team to kill Devroe’s friend. Several NYC police officers use them as well, but due to the never halting camera movements, I couldn’t get a clear picture.
The famous movie sidearm, Beretta 92FS, returns as Lt. Colonel Tom Devoe’s (George Clooney), Air Force pilots, NYC police officers, and several other character’s sidearms.
A Special Forces sniper saves Devoe’s (George Clooney) ass with a shot to Kodoroff’s Aleksandr Baluyev chest with his M24 sniper rifle. The weapon also has a custom camo paintjob (albeit fading) and a fluted barrel.
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 and Heckler & Koch MP5A2, a Special Forces favorite at the time, is seen being used by rogue Russian Spetsnaz and American Green Berets.
