Plot

LAPD SWAT bomb disposal officers Jack Traven and Harry Temple are tasked with preventing a bombing on a city elevator containing 13 people, masterminded by a vengeful extortionist, Howard Payne. After narrowly rescuing the passengers, Jack and Harry hunt down Payne where Harry is wounded. Payne seemingly blows himself up and Jack and Harry are conferred medals in a ceremony. However, Payne, who somehow survived, resurfaces as he blew up a bus and contacts Jack with a new deadly scheme: a bomb planted on a city bus that will activate upon reaching 50 miles per hour (80km/h) and detonate if the bus slows below 50 but is also set to go off sometime before noon.
