Special agent Mike Connelly (Patrick Muldoon) is a patriotic American, fiercely dedicated to his job as a member of the Secret Service detail assigned to protect the president. But, after admitting his disgust over President Jack Cahill's (Roy Scheider) extramarital affairs, Connelly is reassigned to guard the president's nuclear football, a briefcase that holds the top-secret nuclear launch codes. It's an embarrassing demotion -- until a troop of Taiwanese agents tries to snatch it.
