I assume you're kidding, but just in case you're not, I'll summarize.
The Arabs hold a great deal of money in financial instruments in our
economy. Every six months, those instruments come up for renewal. Every
six months, the Arabs roll them over, so the money continues to remain
in play in the US economy. Except one day, they don't. Ultimately, the
US economy crashes. There's a love story in there, and a couple of other
things, but that's the gist of it. Great movie.
