DETONATOR SYNOPSIS
A renegade Russian general (Christopher Lee) sends a stolen nuclear bomb hurtling towards Iraq on a hijacked train piloted by a cold-blooded mercenary (Ted Levine). A skilled team of United Nations anti-crime agents is sent in as the last line of defense against the lethal threat. This commando unit, led by Pierce Brosnan and Patrick Stewart, launches an assault to stop the train and disarm the bomb before its deadly payload can be delivered.

LIVE WIRE SYNOPSIS
Top FBI bomb expert Danny O’Neill (Pierce Brosnan) is considered a “live wire” due to his unconventional methods. Though he excels professionally, his personal life is falling apart. The recent death of his daughter has led his wife to look for comfort in the arms of Senator Frank Travers (Ron Silver), the very man O’Neil has been assigned to protect against terrorist attacks. Pressure builds as Mikhail Rashid (Ben Cross), a psychopath with a thirst for revenge, is targeting senators with a newly devised explosive that can be hidden in water. As time is quickly running out, O’Neil must save his wife, her lover and the entire city of Washington, D.C.
