When the president of Russia suddenly dies, a man whose politics are virtually unknown succeeds him. The change in political leaders sparks paranoia among American CIA officials, so CIA director Bill Cabot recruits a young analyst to supply insight and advice on the situation. Then the unthinkable happens: a nuclear bomb explodes in a U.S. city, and America is quick to blame the Russians.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Sum of All Fears' is a political action thriller focused on nuclear threat and international relations. There is no indication whatsoever that the story is set during the Christmas season, Christmas impacts the plot, or Christmas themes or iconography are present."
