Broken Arrow (tagline: "Prepare to Go Ballistic") stars John Travolta as Major Vic Deakins with Christian Slater as Captain Riley Hale trying to stop those who have stolen a nuclear weapon.
Broken Arrow is generally accepted as a throwaway, but reasonable action film, released on Friday, February 9, 1996, although disappointing to die-hard fans of the director's ( John Woo) other films.
One major factual innaccuracy is the description of the stealth bomber as the "B-3." This can only have been intentional as the B-2 Spirit entered service three years before the film was released.
"Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?"
"I don't know what scares me more - lost nuclear weapons or that it happens so often you have a name for it."
