Swedish
military intelligence officers Carl Hamilton (
Peter Stormare) and Åke Stålhandske (Mats Långbacka) are ordered to eliminate a band of Russian smugglers on the Russian tundra. The smugglers possess a nuclear missile, a 1.5 megaton
SS-20, "enough to turn Paris, Washington or New York to ashes". What they do not know is that the smugglers they have intercepted were only a decoy, while the real missile was shipped to
Libya. Mike Hawkins (
Mark Hamill), the film's antagonist, is an American former CIA officer working in
Murmansk, who is also looking for the nuclear missile and joins Hamilton's team. ==Cast==
