Blast is a 2004 action film directed by Anthony Hickox and starring Eddie Griffin, [1] Vinnie Jones, [2] Breckin Meyer, [2] and Vivica A. Fox. [3] [1] It was written by Steven E. de Souza. [2] The film is a remake of the German television film Operation Noah (1998).
A terrorist, Michael Kittredge ( Vinnie Jones), posing as an environmentalist protester leads a team of highly skilled mercenaries to take control of an oil rig off the coast of California, intending to detonate an electromagnetic bomb over the United States, striking a sort of "new Pearl Harbor" attack on behalf of enemies to the nation. What Kittredge didn't count on is a tugboat captain, Lamont Dixon ( Eddie Griffin), who survives an attack on his ship, and is soon recruited by an FBI agent ( Vivica A. Fox) to infiltrate the oil rig and procure information about their plans, and if possible, stop them. In the process, Dixon meets an eager computer expert ( Breckin Meyer) aboard the oil rig who helps Dixon even as he gets on his nerves and Lamont suspects he can't really trust him.
