An acclaimed nuclear physicist (Barry) at the Los Alamos research facility is part of an elite group of scientists with knowledge of nuclear weaponry. It is his skills as a father that come in to play, however, when terrorists kidnap his young son (Aaker). Hiding out in the surrounding hills, the culprits demand the plans to the H-bomb as ransom and threaten the boy's life if not delivered to their satisfaction. (official distributor synopsis)
