The Peacemaker is a 1997 American action thriller film directed by Mimi Leder and produced by Steven Spielberg. The film features George Clooney and Nicole Kidman in the lead roles, while Marcel Iures plays the main antagonist. The movie centers around a nuclear-detonation expert, Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman), and Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Devoe (George Clooney), an operative in the Defense Intelligence Agency. Together, they are tasked with tracking down a stolen Russian nuclear weapon that is set to be detonated on American soil. The weapon was stolen by a rogue Russian general named Aleksandr Kodoroff (Marcel Iures), who commands a group of extremist militants.

The movie opens with the theft of the nuclear weapon from a Russian train, which leads to the gruesome murder of the train's driver by Kodoroff's men. Julia and Devoe are immediately called into action to prevent the weapon from being used. They are sent to New York City to investigate the origins of the weapon and its potential targets.

As they begin their investigation, they discover that Kodoroff has already planted a small, timed explosive device on a civilian train carrying plutonium to a nuclear plant in the United States. He demands a large sum of money in exchange for deactivating the explosive device. However, Devoe and Kelly quickly realize that Kodoroff's true motive is to detonate the nuclear weapon in New York City, causing mass destruction and chaos.

With time running out, Devoe and Kelly travel to Europe to track down Kodoroff and his team of militants. They follow a series of clues that eventually lead them to the Bulgarian border, where they engage in a tense standoff that puts their mission and their lives in jeopardy.

Throughout the movie, Devoe and Kelly work together to overcome numerous obstacles, including extensive terrorism on foreign soil, a crooked Russian military leader, and deceit among those who are supposed to be allies. With physical and emotional intensity, this action-packed thriller keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The Peacemaker is a tense, fast-paced action thriller that features fantastic performances from both George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. The movie is an engaging blend of intrigue, suspense, and action, with a strong cast and a gripping storyline. It takes audiences on a thrilling ride as Devoe and Kelly work to prevent a devastating attack on American soil. Overall, The Peacemaker is a must-watch for fans of action movies and anyone who loves an exciting adventure.
