Broken Arrow
Two military pilots (Travolta and Slater) engage in a no-holds-barred battle against time and each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.
When a B-3 Stealth Bomber crashes in the Utah desert during a top-secret test run, the military quickly moves in to retrieve its two "broken arrows." But the situation spins wildly out of control after one of the pilots reveals the crash to be part of an incredible nuclear extortion plot.

John Travolta and Christian Slater star in an action-themed film that delves into the threat of a stolen Nuke on American soil, dubbed a “Broken Arrow”. The two co-stars play air force pilots who encounter an emergency landing while on a test flight with a plane carrying nuclear weapons. When the dust settles, the nuke is gone, and the communication lines are severed, turning command against the pilots for fear of suspicious behaviour. Not one of the most popular or well done actions films of the 90’s, but certainly not the worst. For fans of the genre, an entertaining couple of hours.Special effects and action scenes but... - Coconut_Willy
...not much more. The storyline is so unbelievable that you could swear it was a remake of a '60s Batman episode. The basic concept is good enough but the way it's developed, it loses all credibility very quickly. Set in deserted parts of Utah, it seems impossible for the good guys to escape the bad guys despite the immensity of the territory and the very large number of hiding places. And despite the fact that the bad guys have to chase the good guys all over the place, they always end up in a spot where accomplices are waiting and just on time. Come on. The cast is comprised of some well known faces doing a slightly over the top acting job in order to match their characters and the dialogue. The sets and locations are excellent, the soundtrack is very good and the camera work is very appropriate for this type of action film. There is an incredible amount of special effect scenes and they are all very well done. If you read the credits at the end of the movie, you will realize that the production team probably hired most of the FX outfits in existence. If non-stop action is your thing, you might like this as it is quite entertaining.A great action flick - filemanager
This movie was made up almost completely of action. Just one thing after another!
John Travolta does an excellent performance in this film (as in all his films I've seen). He plays his character perfectly.
If you're looking for a great action flick with a lot of explosions, a lot of shooting, and a lot of hand-to-hand combat, then add this to your list!
