In a world...
Big CGI shot of the Earth from space. The US takes up three-quarters of the surface.
...where global threats lurk around every corner...
Military general type stands beside a 3D holographic display of a huge tower.
...where there's always one last mission...
A squad in black uniform sits strapped into a troop carrier helicopter. One of them looks out the window, and sees a missile streaking towards them.
...where one-in-a-million shots happen fifty percent of the time...
Helicopter goes down in a blazing wreck. Camera pans around the snow-covered mountainside to show the squad standing a few feet away and miraculously unharmed.
...the free world has only one chance to survive.
A coin spins in the air and is caught.
Vin Diesel: Must be my lucky day.

A pinprick of blinding white light apears...
NO
...expands to fill the screen...
LIMIT
...and fades into a mushroom cloud.
