LAPD cops Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) rescue a group of executives trapped in a sabotaged elevator, thus foiling deranged bomber Howard Payne's (Dennis Hopper) ransom demands, yet again!

However, in retaliation, Payne sets a new challenge for Traven. He plants a bomb on a Los Angeles city bus which will activate itself on the bus reaching 50 miles per hour, and which will explode if the bus drops below that speed or if any of the passengers try to escape.

With the help of one of the feamle civilians on the bus, Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) Jack must try and save the passengers which is incredibly hard considering the whole event ios being broadcast live across the country and none of them are supposed to leave the bus!
