In Washington D.C., Captain Olivia Walker (Rebecca Ferguson) locks her phone away when she arrives at a command center at the White House on a routine morning. She's informed that a military base in Alaska has reported the unexpected launch of an incoming missile. General Brady (Tracy Letts) at first estimates it will hit somewhere in the Sea of Japan, but soon it becomes clear that it's heading for a major city in the United States.

In 18 minutes, the missile will hit Chicago, where millions of Americans will die. Brady raises the DEFCON alert level from 4 to 2. Communication and protocol are fast and immediate — military leaders appear on a video call along with the President of the USA (Idris Elba), but a solution to the situation may not be in reach.
