Synopsis Every President Has A Defining Moment. Walter Emerson Is About To Have His. With a compelling story, a top-notch cast and nerve-jangling suspense, Deterrence is a riveting political thriller that puts the world on the brink of nuclear doomsday...and perhaps pulls the trigger. The year is 2008. During a campaign swing through Colorado, U.S. President Walter Emerson (Kevin Pollak) and his entourage are forced by a freak snowstorm to take refuge in a remote diner. Then comes a shocking news flash: a large Iraqi military offensive has been mounted in the Middle East. From his sudden Colorado command post, the stranded President and his top aides (Timothy Hutton and Sheryl Lee Ralph) must manage a constantly escalating crisis in which moves lead to countermoves, bluffs turn real and the world's fate rides on the outcome. Does Emerson make the right choices? Deterrence lays out the harrowing events and lets you decide.

So many elements come together to make this a believable story! If you happen to speak Arabic, however, you will be disappointed by the lack of authenticity in certain parts of this film. The movie opens with sound bytes of real speeches given by past presidents, and then adds sound bytes by future presidents to inform you that the United States has a brunt conflict of words with North Korea. The next President, as you find out, is running for reel   more >>
