Broken Arrow is a 1996 American action film directed by John Woo and starring John Travolta and Christian Slater.
Major Vic 'Deak' Deakins (John Travolta) and Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) are pilots in the United States Air Force. Early in the film, Deakins and Hale take off from Whiteman Air Force Base in a B-3 Bomber (a fictional advanced version of the actual B-2 Spirit stealth bomber).
During the flight, Deakins goes rogue and fights with Hale inside the cockpit, attempting to shoot him with his sidearm. After momentarily stunning Hale, Deakins releases the two nuclear weapons and ejects Hale from the cockpit. Delibrately sabotaging the plane, Deakins notifies Colonel Max Wilkins (Delroy Lindo) that Hale 'lost it' before ejecting himself.
Deakins' plan is to demand a ransom to return the bombs, otherwise he will destroy a city.
Terry Carmichael, played by Samantha Mathis, finds Hale and puts a gun at him after seeing the pilot eject from the stricken aircraft. She is suspicious at first and pulls a revolver on the pilot. After a brief scuffle, Terry gives in and accepts Hale's story.
The race is now on to recover the bombs and stop Deakins. Hale knows Deakins better than anyone, but matching wits with a major strategist may be easier said than done.
Broken Arrow had a domestic gross of US$ 70,770,147 and an international gross of $79,500,000, for a total worldwide gross of $150,270,147[1].
