I read the book this was based on many years ago.
In Tom Clancys' book (if I recall correctly..) it was a Palestinian militant group that recovered the undetonated nuclear payload from an Isreali fighter. This was then used by the group against the United States for it's (perceived, although arguable) propping up of the 'Isreali Terrorist State'.
When it came time for Hollywood to make a film of it however things changed course and it was a radical right-wing group working for Aryan(?) supremacy that became the villain.
I have to laugh when a book following the fictional, although believable, course of events when a Muslim group bombs the financial backers of the Jewish state gets engineered into 'euro Nazis' attack the U.S for world domination.
The idealogical stranglehold of Hollywood continues and anyone who questions it is usually sanctioned and/or accused of antisemitism.
Let's see if this one makes it to the board...
