Plot:
While trying to kill the FBI Agent Sean Archer with a sniper rifle, the terrorist Castor Troy hits him on the chest but accidentally kills his little son Mike. The relentless Archer hunts down Troy and his brother Pollux Troy and he learns that Troy has planted a bomb in Los Angeles that will provoke destruction and several killings. Archer and his team chase Castor and Pollux in the airport, and he kills Castor, but Pollux survives. He is the only person who knows where the bomb is, but he refuses to tell. FBI Agents Hollis Miller and Tito Biondi propose an alternative secret solution to find the location of the bomb. The surgeon Dr. Malcolm Walsh would remove the face of Castor Troy, who is alive in coma in a hospital, and replace Sean Archer's face by his. Then he would go to the prison where Pollux is to learn the location of the bomb. Archer accepts the arrangements and finds where the bomb is. But the problem is that Castor has woken up from the coma, forced Dr. Walsh to put Sean Archer's face on him and killed everybody that knows the operation, burning the hospital do the ashes. Now, how can the real Archer prove his identity?
