!Tropes for the film:
* DunkingTheBomb: The protagonists end up extracting the pacemaker used by the titular atomic bomb to detect the presence of its maker's ex-wife[[note]]it's set to explode immediately if she tries to get away from it, in addition to its ticking countdown[[/note]], [[spoiler:tape it to the bomb and throw the latter out of the cargo plane, into the ocean, with seconds to spare]].
* TheFilmOfTheBook: Based on the novel of the same name by John J. Nance.
* LandMineGoesClick: Vivan's pacemaker was detected in close proximity to the bomb, it would skip the rest of the countdown and detonate if she stepped too far from it. [[spoiler:At the climax they have to cut the pacemaker out of her and tape it to the bomb, putting her in need of urgent medical assistance]].
* RelocatingTheExplosion: The cargo plane is free to go anywhere since one of the nuke's tracking devices (the one to ensure it wasn't moved from the Pentagon) failed, so they decide to fool the second one (the one to ensure its creator's ex-wife didn't move away from it) by taping Vivian's pacemaker to it and drop it to the ocean.
