The Peacemaker Mimi Leder

Brash Special Forces intelligence officer Thomas Devoe (George Clooney) teams up with antismuggling official Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman) to track down runaway nuclear bombs which have fallen into the dastardly hands of a Yugoslavian terrorist determined to draw attention to the slaughter in his former homeland by nuking midtown Manhattan.
