Synopsis

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.

Memorable quotes from The Sum of All Fears

"The bomb is in play! Dylan's called the AFRAT team! They're meeting me at the docks in twenty minutes! We're going to see if we can find it!"
"In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel. By Day Two, Israeli ground forces appeared on the verge of defeat. In the event that their ground forces were overrun, an Israeli A-4 jet took off on patrol with one nuclear bomb."
"Cabot: Jack...Jack what are you doing?"
"Jack: Oh... I had a date tonight so I have to call and cancel."
"Cabot: Well don't be stupid! Tell her where you're going. In fact tell her who you work for. She'll be impressed."
"Jack: [to Cathy, his girlfriend, over the phone] OK. I work for the CIA, and the Director asked me at the last minute to come with him to Russia with him to do a nuclear arms inspection. Hello?"
"Jack: No, I swear, it's because of the START treaty, we get to inspect to make sure they're really decommissioning their nuclear arsenal [Cathy hangs up] Hello?...Hello? [sees Cabot laughing at him] Thanks a lot."
"Cabot: What's the t-shirt say?"
