The Sum of All Fears
2002 · 124 MIN · IMDB 6.5 · 127,691 VOTES · DIR. Phil Alden Robinson
Overview
When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot recruits a young analyst to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians.
