Baywatch meets Die Hard here, and, yes, it turns out to be as ghastly a concoction as it sounds. David Hasselhoff plays the lone maverick who sets out to foil a gang of super-criminals who are threatening to bring New York to a halt in order to ransack $100 billion from a bank. TV-movie specialist Sandor Stern does his best with a limited budget and manages to stage a few decent set pieces. However, Baywatch star Hasselhoff is as wooden as ever and there isn't even an Alan Rickman-esque villain to hold the attention.

After explosions destroy all the bridges connecting Manhattan to the rest of New York, the authorities attribute the disaster to a terrorist organization. New York cop Jake Gorki, flying over the Federal Reserve Bank in his helicopter, suspects something else: a robbery.
