The Peacemaker is a 1997 political action thriller film starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, directed by Mimi Leder.
Synopsis - In Russia, during the train transport of R-36M ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, the corrupt and dissatisfied General Kodoroff, with the help of another graduate and some military loyal to him, manages to take possession of 9 of the 10 MIRV nuclear warheads transported; one is armed and left on the train which, without a guide, is placed on a track where it ends up colliding with another train coming from the opposite direction. Shortly after the disastrous accident, the armed warhead explodes, while Kodoroff and his accomplices took shelter in a tunnel, the explosion serves to cover the theft of the warheads, the nuclear fallout will in fact prohibit reaching the area for several days. The incident is investigated by Dr. Kelly, an expert in nuclear physics, who works for the American nuclear anti-smuggling and Colonel Devoe. The two soon discover that there is something bigger behind the accident. Using even little diplomatic methods, they manage to recover eight of the nine stolen warheads bound for Iran and kill Kodoroff. However, the appeal lacks a header. The two discover that it has ended up in the hands of Dušan Gavrić, a citizen of the former Yugoslavia, who lost his wife and daughter during the war in his country and is now determined to take revenge against those he believes to be the culprits: he heads to New York, where he decided to detonate the bomb, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people. After a dangerous race against time, the two manage to stop Gavrić and avoid the nuclear explosion, thus saving the city.
