    James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming together in a movie,what more can you dream in the 90's?!When they actually did it on silver screen, it gave the movie world one of the finest action movies of all time.The movie grossed nearly $400 million world wide and won various awards too in many categories.Arnold's grip at the box office was re-ascertained once again.

 Harry Tasker[Arnold] s an undercover operative for Omega sector,a counter terrorism task force.But for his family he is a busy computer salesman who could never keep family promises and always too busy with his work.Harry and his associates are behind a Palestinian terrorist group called Crimson Jihad,led by Salim Abu Aziz.Harry and co.deliver the first blow at the terrorist group in Switzerland,but this alerts them and they get behind Harry and his family before they plan the ultimate strike.

   Harry's wife Helen[Jammie le Curtis],bored by her family life because of her husbands constant absence,tries to wander around a bit and falls prey in a trap by a womanizer.Harry and his crew follows her and saves her at the nick of time in an unofficial operation.But both Harry and Helen gets captured by the terrorist group who takes them away to an island.Harry learns that the terrorist group now possess nuclear weapons that could destroy America forever.Harry with his mastery and expertise escapes from captivity but fails to save his wife along.He inflicts heavy damages to the group but is unsuccessful  to take out its leader Salim.The terrorist group now carries live nuclear bombs and his wife by road to the main land where they plan the ultimate attack on America.Harry has to act quick and smart to save Helen and destroy the bomb.

     After a mind blowing operation, Harry manages to save Helen and prevent the nuclear weapon from reaching the main land but things get more complicated as Harry comes to know that his daughter has been kidnapped by the Jihadi group and they are planting another nuclear bomb in the mainland.This time Harry has to pull out something special out of the box to save his daughter.And Harry is quite used in pulling out a miracle when every hope seems to fade.

     The James Cameron touch is quite evident in the action sequences which are just hallucinatory and phenomenal.The scenes of Helen's misadventure with the womanizer seemed a bit over blown and drags you in between.But it is compensated with some heavy duty action which follows.Arnold Schwarzenegger is remarkable as Henry as his character has everything to bluster the action hero in him.The movie is still very much better than recent action flicks in the similar genre.If you haven't seen it yet,then go grab your DVD'S today itself.
