on the high seas, a Soviet super-carrier is

mysterinus]y destroyed. Nearly 22,000 miles above

the earth, the Russians blast an American

satellite out of the skies in retaliation, and the

U.S. launches its own space weapons.

The world is on the brink of star-war holocaust

as a crack C.LA. scientific team desperately tries

to discover what is really happening.

A race against catastrophe becomes a last

high-tech, white-knuckled gamble for survival...

for America...for Rossia...for every

living thing on earth
