1973年的第四次中东战争中,一架携带着核武器的以色列战机在叙利亚被击毁,核弹随之便被时间和风沙掩埋。然而29年后,核弹却被一对平民夫妇掘起,并廉价变卖给军火商,最后兜售给了恐怖分子,而这些恐怖分子正在策划一场在美国繁华集会地点的核爆,并将其嫁祸给俄罗斯,意在挑起新一轮世界大战。年轻警觉的CIA情报分析师杰克·瑞恩(本·阿弗莱克 Ben Affleck 饰)在与俄罗斯新任总统会面时,隐约感到事有蹊跷,并通过眼线很快洞察了恐怖分子的惊天阴谋。然而瑞恩的判断却未能得到局里的重视,在一筹莫展之际,他得到了资深睿智的老分析顾问威廉·卡伯特(摩根·弗里曼 Morgan Freeman 饰)的信任与合作,然而仅凭他们二人之力,能否赶在恐怖分子下手前找到核弹,阻止这一毁灭性的悲剧发生呢?
