Plot[]
An abandoned and decaying nuclear bomb, kept in orbit around Earth, is in the process of being safely dismantled when its decayed shell gives way and triggers the bomb - a worker's foot being the only thing stopping the two halves coming together and polluting Earth's atmosphere with radiation. With the bomb now hurtling down towards New York City, International Rescue are the only outfit capable of saving the day - but even they might need a bit of luck on their side...
