L'ultimatum des 3 mercenaires (1977)
Le dimanche 16 novembre 1981 s’annonce comme une journée tranquille pour David Stevens. Le président des États-Unis ignore qu’au même moment des évadés de prison sont en train de s’infiltrer dans une base militaire du Montana, afin de prendre le contrôle de neuf missiles nucléaires. Leur meneur, Lawrence Dell, est un ancien général de l’US Air Force condamné pour meurtre. Introduit avec succès dans le silo 3, Dell contacte l’état-major et impose ses conditions : de l’argent ainsi qu’une extradition à bord d’Air Force One pour lui et ses hommes. En sus, le renégat ordonne au Président de révéler un document confidentiel sur l’intervention américaine au Vietnam. En cas de refus, les fusées nucléaires seront lancées…
