He steals the nuclear weapons to ransom the U.S. government. The Chase:
The story follows Major Vic "Deak" Deakins (John Travolta) and Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater), two close friends and elite Stealth bomber pilots. During a test flight over the Utah desert, Deakins attempts to hijack the two nuclear warheads on board. He ejects Hale, crashes the plane, and escapes with the weapons, leaving the military to believe it was a tragic accident.
"Broken Arrow" (1996) is an action-packed thrill ride that delivers on its promise of non-stop excitement. With a talented cast, impressive stunts, and a thought-provoking narrative, this film is a must-watch for fans of the action genre.
Playing opposite Travolta is Christian Slater as Riley Hale. Slater brings a necessary earnestness to the role. He plays a soldier who respects his mentor but is forced to reconcile with the fact that the man he trusted is a traitor. The emotional weight of the film rests on Slater’s shoulders, and he holds his ground against Travolta’s more flamboyant performance.
