Russians try to occupy an Alaskan pipeline pumping station to use it to push remote detonated explosives into 30+ miles of pipeline in order to use it as a ransom to end a US wheat embargo.
Destroying the whole line would take 3+ years to repair, and the US would be oil starved the whole time.
Poorly equipped US national guardsman defending the station against "elite" Russian paratroopers are cut off from help because of a massive storm.
Simple solution... ...US guardsman, instead of "holding out" for 3 days why not just blow up the pumping station?
The Russians then have no way to send explosives into the line and destroy the whole pipeline.
The station would take a few months AT MOST, to repair.
Other than that plot problem, the rest of the movie was entertaining and worth a watch.
