About
When rogue stealth-fighter pilot Vic Deakins deliberately drops off the radar while on maneuvers, the Air Force ends up with two stolen nuclear warheads -- and Deakins's co-pilot, Riley Hale, is the military's only hope for getting them back. Traversing the deserted canyons of Utah, Hale teams with park ranger Terry Carmichael to put Deakins back in his box.

My name's Riley Hale.

Well, looks like you're gonna have to take me in.

Betrayal and Power Struggle Over Nukes
Vic Deakins
Hale. Pick up. Pick UP! C'mon buddy - pick up the phone.
[Hale spins around, looking at the phone Deakins is speaking through]
Riley Hale
Buddy," huh? Son of a bitch, you tried to kill me. The friendship is over.
Deakins
Well, that doesn't mean I don't like you. Hell - I'm impressed. I'd have figured you'd have picked up and walked off by now.
Hale
Yeah? Well, you figured wrong. Now I've got the nukes. Guess what, Deak? I'm gonna deactivate em. You hear that? That's me punching in the wrong codes. Pretty soon these things are gonna be absolutely useless. Might as well turn around and drive away.
[begins punching random keys on the bomb's keypad, beeping is heard through Deakins' end of the line]
Deakins
Outstanding, Hale! That's the spirit! Damn, I'm totally screwed now. Unless of course I already thought of that ahead of time. Didn't work, did it? I used uncoded circuit boards. You just activated a nuclear warhead, my friend. Setting off a nuke in this mine has been part of my plan from day one. Otherwise some D.C. civilian might say, I haven't got the guts.
[Mockingly; The bomb arms]
Hale
Fuck!
Terry Carmichael
He's insane.
Deakins
You know, Hale, I considered bringing you in on this. You know why I didn't?
Confrontation Over Motivations and Money
Riley Hale
So that's what this is all about, huh? The money?
Vic Deakins
Yeah.
[''Laughs'']
Hale
Bullshit.
Deakins
Well, you tell me why. Go ahead. You tell me why.
Hale
Because you've been passed over for promotion so many times, you want to show the bastards you're right. Maybe it's cause everybody's cashing out so why the hell not you? I don't know. Maybe-maybe your mother dropped you on your head when you were a baby. I mean, who the hell cares, Deak? I mean, there's no difference between you and a guy who shoots up a schoolyard. You've both got a head full of bad wiring.
Deakins
What was that?
[Edging closer]
Hale
You're fucked in the head, Deak!
Deakins
HA!
Negotiating Trust and Payment Concerns
Pritchett
It's still my money.
Vic Deakins
And if we succeed, you and your associates will get a ton of it.
Pritchett
If we're successful?
Deakins
Look, Mr. Pritchett, I will deliver the weapons to the destination. But I can't depend and I can't guarantee that those assholes in Washington won't do something stupid like... not pay.
Pritchett
What if they don't?
Deakins
Well, if they don't, the Southwest will be a quiet neighborhood for... about ten thousand years.
