Its a completely implausible situation though. This is still supposed to be in America?
What part is implausible? The fanatic holding a city under his thumb with a nuclear bomb or that the federal government didn't rush in to a nuclear situation with guns blazing?
If you mean that a madman with a nuclear weapon would hold an entire city hostage---I agree, it is implausible in that it is a movie plot, and I personally hope that this sort of thing never happens in "real life" BUT I don't doubt for a second that real life fanatics exist who would jump at the chance to destroy a city with a nuclear weapon if they could.
If you mean that it's implausible that the federal government wouldn't just raid an American city with the army--knowing full well that there is a live and primed nuclear bomb on the ground--I personally think and hope, that were this a real life situation...they would NOT do exactly the thing that would increase chaos and agitate/provoke the madman to detonate.
