...into a surreal world that is both futuristic and strangely ancient. Shot entirely in the studio, the film sports some of the most incredible sets in recent memory. Often enhanced by computer imaging, the whole setting has an eerie pre-fabricated feel that is akin to today's high-tech electronic games. The influence of Terry Gilliam is apparent, since the style of visuals is reminiscent of the optical wackiness in Brazil, Time Bandits, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen...

Hundreds of normally lab-bound nuclear scientists fanned out through the French Quarter carrying briefcases with hidden radiation detectors, while rental vans packed with high-tech electronics roamed the streets and planes fitted with spy cameras swooped overhead. After three days, they found what they were hunting for: a simulated nuclear weapon hidden on a nearby naval base...
