Plot
1973. Egypt and Syria launch a surprise attack on Israel, igniting the Yom Kippur War. The Israeli military sends an A-4 attack aircraft to reconnoiter with a fission bomb. The plane is shot down and the bomb remains unexploded in the desert for almost thirty years. 2002. A wealthy neo-Nazi named Richard Dressler plans to take over the world after causing the United States and Russia to destroy each other in a nuclear conflict of his own instigation. To this end, he buys the bomb found in the desert on the Asian black market, and pays three dissatisfied Russian scientists to have it reactivated. Meanwhile, tension is growing between the United States and Russia following the death of the old Russian president and the inauguration of the new president Nemerov after only eight hours.
Jack Ryan, an analyst at the CIA, had written a report on Nemerov years earlier and is therefore summoned by the Defense Council to understand what kind of president Nemerov will be, and how he will behave in Chechnya. Jack Ryan then goes to Russia together with the head of the CIA William Cabot for the dismantling of some nuclear laboratories, and here he meets Nemerov, who explains to him how the war in Chechnya should not interest the United States. Furthermore, during the visit to the laboratory, Ryan discovers that three scientists are missing, who are missing.
In fact, they are working in Ukraine on behalf of Dressler to reactivate the atomic bomb found in the desert. Meanwhile, during the annual dinner of CIA collaborators in Washington with US President Fowler, news arrives that Russia has attacked the capital of Chechnya with gas, killing about 80% of the population. Jack Ryan is convinced that it was not Nemerov who ordered the attack, but it was the Russian president himself who announced, in an address to the nation, that it was he who gave the order, while in reality it was two generals, at the unbeknownst to Nemerov, to give the order to attack. This fact further exacerbates the tension between Russia and the United States.
