After years of ups and downs in his career, New York detective John McLean won the New York City Best Detective Medal for his desperate work, but his marriage hit the rocks and he lost custody of his children. Surrounded by feelings of dissatisfaction and loneliness, he became a corrupt alcoholic and refused to contact anyone. Until one day, he was named and challenged by terrorists and had to complete dangerous instructions within a specified time. Otherwise, amazingly powerful bombs will blow up New York City one by one. This terrorist is not only cold-blooded but also has an IQ of 187, making it the most difficult target among terrorists to arrest. He claimed that his brother had died under John's and wanted to avenge his brother. In the urgent crisis, he rebounded and started a death with the cold-blooded gangsters with the assistance of his black partner Carver, and let's see how they resolve the crisis.
Simon is a cautious, cruel terrorist. In order to steal the gold in the underground vault of the Federal Building, he tried every means to disperse the police. He first created an explosion. While the police were rushing to solve the case, he called Sheriff John McLean again, claiming that the police must follow a series of instructions from him, otherwise he would continue to carry out explosive activities in the city.
John McLean accepted the first order with his bare hands: stand in a black neighborhood with a sign that says "I hate black people", and no police protection is allowed. He was beaten up badly, but was able to get away thanks to the help of a grocery store owner named Zeus. When they returned to the police station, Simon called again. He knew everything that happened and ordered them to arrive at the designated place to accept new instructions. He also ordered them to reach the designated phone booth, and then issued a third designation at the phone booth, otherwise a time bomb would be detonated on the subway. McLean and Zeus split up. McLean jumped into the car to search for the bomb, and Zeus hurried to the phone booth. McLean found the bomb but Simon scolded them on the phone for delaying time. The train drove into the platform and the bomb exploded, blasting the subway station beyond recognition. Numerous passengers were killed and injured, and McAllen and Zeus survived.
However, Simon was still unfulfilled. He ordered McLean to dismantle the bomb in the garden in the middle of the street, and claimed that a bomb had been planted in an elementary school in New York City. Almost all police and municipal officials were dispatched to evacuate students from elementary schools and search for bombs. McLean gradually became suspicious of Simon's instructions one after another. He finally discovered that while police forces in the city were focused on searching for bombs in schools, a group of gangsters had robbed a large amount of gold from the underground vault of the Federal Building by digging ground. This is all premeditated criminal activity. After understanding Simon's tricks, McLean and Zeus immediately drove to chase the culprits. After a series of fierce fighting, they finally succeeded in preventing the culprits from moving and recovering the stolen gold.
