Trivia:
In an interview on "Parkinson" (1971), Halle Berry recalled that the producers turned her down for the role of Terry Carmichael and told her "there are no black park rangers". more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The episode where the traitor pretends to be incapacitated by radiation from the "exposed core" of the B-83 nuke is pure fiction. The whole point of refining the material for a plutonium/uranium core is to get rid of isotopes that radiate; otherwise the bomb would not function. Nukes radiate so little that you can't even find one with a geiger counter. more

Under-Rated Action Flick, 5 September 2000
Author: tfrizzell from United States

"Broken Arrow" is a good action film about a Stealth pilot (John Travolta) who steals nuclear weapons one night during a practice mission. His goal is to sell the weapons back to the United States government by blackmailing them. Old partner Christian Slater is willing to stop Travolta at all costs with the help of ranger Samantha Mathis. Howie Long makes an impressive film debut as Travolta's evil henchman. The screenplay is smart enough to work and the direction is fast and furious. A film that is about as good as it can be. 4 stars out of 5.
