Synopsis

We, the officers and crew of the USS Montana, warn the Russian Federation. Unless our families are released unharmed, we will launch a Trident missile. Deep in the Norwegian Sea, the nuclear submarine steams silently into its launch area and prepares to make good the ultimate threat. In Moscow, the order goes sink the Montana. At the White House, the President orders the Montana to defend itself. And near the Horn of Africa, a large American force, with orders to attack if necessary, approaches the Russian base where the families of the Montana are held hostage. An American assault on a Russian base could start a nuclear war.
