LAPD cops Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) rescue a group of executives trapped in a sabotaged elevator, thus foiling mad bomber Howard Payne's (Dennis Hopper) ransom demands. In retaliation, Payne sets a new challenge for Traven: a bomb on a city bus which will arm itself when the bus reaches 50 mph, and which will explode if the bus drops below that speed or if any of the passengers try to escape.
