Total Force

An evil scientist creates a device that controls humans. With a press of the button, the subject will explode. A special forces team called "Total Force" must seek out and destroy the scientist and his lab. Later on in the film they are supported by terrorist Jack O'Hara, played by Frank Stallone. 'Comic relief' is provided by a corrupt senator, whose character is not at all funny.

Directed by Steven Kaman, Total Force leans on a strong ensemble — Timothy Bottoms, Rustam Branaman, J.D. Rifkin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1996.
