Question Movie Help....

Seeing as I now have some extra time on my hands I have been going through some movies that I haven't seen in awhile. I keep seeing one in my mind and can only remember the first little bit. So I'll describe what I can and I'm sure someone else will have seen it too.

It starts out in '67 during the Six Days War and shows an Israeli jet being armed with what I think was a nuke. The plane flies out into the desert and crashes or is lost. Many years later there are some arabs looking in this area and do uncover the lost bomb.

I can't remember anything else to link it to any other movie I remember. Can you help? It may even had been a crappy movie, but I can't remember.

Chris

The Sum of All Fears ?

The plot begins in 1973, during the Yom Kippur War; at its height the Israelis opt for a tactical nuclear strike, but this is changed at the last minute. Unfortunately, one Mark 12 nuclear weapon is not yet removed from an Israeli attack aircraft. That aircraft is shot down and crashes into mountains in Syria, and the nuclear weapon is lost (an empty quiver).
I found this on Wikipedia...Sound about right?

Clancy books are good readers.. I just read Without Remorse in just under six days. The Hunt for Red October was completely different than the movie. I guess there's only so much you can do with actors and directors..

The book was awesome. I liked how he gave a whole chapter to the mechanisms of the bomb functioning. Hunt for Red October was a good read as well. And even though it was different from the movie, it's still one of my favorite Sean Connery flicks. "I would have liked to have seen Montana."
