Flammen am Horizont (1982)
Als erfolgreicher Nachrichtenreporter Patrick Hale verfolgt Sean Connery einen Terroristen, der einem Öl produzierenden Land im Nahen Osten eine Atombombe angeboten hat. Um sich die Story zu sichern, wagt sich Hale zwischen die Fronten der arabischen Scheichs auf der einen und der internationalen Geheimdienste auf der anderen Seite. Derweil will der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten seine Karriere retten, indem er die Öffentlichkeit davon überzeugt, dass es gar keine Bombe gibt. Sein Gegner in den anstehenden Wahlen dagegen versucht, die Bombe zu kaufen, um ihre Existenz zu beweisen und den Präsidenten zu diskreditieren. Derweil träumt General Wombat davon, den ganzen Nahen Osten einfach in Schutt und Asche zu legen.
