Broken Arrow (1996) – John Travolta vs Christian Slater | 90s Action Classic

Major Vic Deakins (Travolta) and Captain Riley Hale (Slater) are testing nuclear weapons aboard a B-3 stealth bomber when Deakins betrays Hale, steals the nukes, and crashes the plane in the Utah desert. The military calls this worst-case scenario a “Broken Arrow” — code for a lost nuclear weapon. Now it’s up to Hale and park ranger Terry Carmichael to stop Deakins before he detonates a nuclear weapon for profit. The result is a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase filled with desert firefights, train battles, and classic 90s action one-liners.
