Time Bomb (1984 film)

Time Bomb is a 1984 made-for-TV action-adventure movie.

Background
Critic Robert Cettl described Time Bomb as an update on 1970s trucker films and noted the unusual move of casting a woman to play the leader of a terrorist ring. The film was viewed as a slight departure from Fairchild and Olsen's images. Fairchild was cast to draw her large soap opera audience, Fairchild, who described her prior roles as largely "exploitative glitz," said she appreciated the grittier material. Some critics, however, were skeptical of the casting.

Plot summary
The film features Renee DeSalles, a charismatic, seductive terrorist of Algerian descent known as the most wanted terrorist in the world. She and her gang target an armored truck taking weapons-grade plutonium across Texas. It is up to a three-man team of "transport specialists" sent there to stop them.
