IMDb profile

Timebomb is a 1991 sci-fi action film written and directed by Israeli Avi Nesher. Starring Michael Biehn (The Terminator) and Patsy Kensit (Lethal Weapon 2).

Producers originally wanted Jean-Claude Van Damme or Chuck Norris to play Kay, but Nesher saw Biehn as perfect for the role due to his performance in The Abyss. Biehn himself took a pay cut to show his dedication to the film.^{[citation needed]}

Watching the news, Colonel Taylor (Richard Jordan) is shocked to see Eddy, whom he had assumed to be dead. A game of cat and mouse begins as Eddy, with the help of psychiatrist Dr. Anna Nolmar (Patsy Kensit), tries to discover his past and why they want him dead.
