Blackmark launches an operation to kill the Soviet guy to somehow end the cold war. The Soviet guy has a sick daughter, a fact which the spy uses to turn the tables and actualy take the Soviet captive while he awaits new orders. Another atomic weapons industrialist named Hillcrest who has formed a consortium of the 8 greatest arms dealers actually intercepts the spy's job and feeds him the order to launch the missile.
What that failsafe is and why Blackmark would care we never find out. He hired the spy originally to grab one of the Soviets in charge of nuclear weapons because he has some secret failsafe in case something happens to him. One of them actually realizes that atomic war isn't good for business-his name: Blackmark. Things become murky because one of the weapons industrialists is working against the other. Turns out the spy works not for the US government but for the military industrial complex. The Soviets can't abort it on their own but once they find him and in his lair manage to abort the missiles just in time. OK, so an American spy in the USSR takes control of its missiles and launches one against the US. Reviewed by TdSmth5 7 / 10 Unrealized potential It's a genre-defying, high-tension thriller in the vein of Michael Mann and Neal Stephenson, steeped in the paranoia and fear of global politics, reminiscent of classic thrillers "Seven Days in May" and "The Hunt for Red October." The film is an origin story, showing the massive power and influence these companies have had over the course of modern history. "Blackmark" is the first feature length film to tackle the Cold War from the perspective of the military industrial complex.
Unbeknownst to them his threat is just the beginning of an even bigger crisis - one that will change the course of history forever.
With just minutes before Mutually Assured Destruction, an American military industrialist and a Soviet nuclear commander race against the clock to prevent a nation from nuclear annihilation. An unkown entity has hacked into a Soviet missile and aimed it at the United States.
