The Peacemaker (1997)

Ending / spoiler

(4 votes)

The Serb leader kept a warhead and travels to NY to detonate it at the UN summit. Nicole Kidman and George Clooney catch him before he gets there, and the bomb detonates but they damage it enough that it doesn't go nuclear - the explosion and radiation is contained within a church. They hook up together for a beer.

Continuity mistake: As Nicole walks across a plaza with Clooney to meet the Russian spy, she is wearing sheer stockings and low pumps. As she walks off the plaza she is wearing knee high boots with fur tops.

Suggested correction: I think what we see from behind, under the coat is dark trousers and dark low heels.

Question: At the end of the movie, George Clooney and Nicole Kidman are trying to remove one of the small explosive plates that surround the plutonium sphere in a nuclear weapon. Couldn't they have just disconnected the wire connected to the explosive plate to prevent that trigger charge detonating properly? Or would it have detonated because it was touching the other plates?

Answer: Presumably they couldn't take the risk that removing the wire would stop that plate detonating, and/or were worried that there might be a failsafe to detect a wire being cut. Physically removing the charge seemed like the safer bet.
