Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

In 2011, civil war breaks out in Russia between the government and Ultranationalists who seek to restore the country's Soviet-era influence. At the same time, Khaled Al-Asad leads a coup in an unnamed Middle Eastern country and executes its president, Yasir Al-Fulani.
New SAS recruit Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish joins a team commanded by Captain John Price and Gaz. The team raids a cargo ship in the Bering Strait and finds a nuclear device connected to Al-Asad before enemy aircraft sink the vessel. After escaping, the SAS rescues Nikolai, a Russian informant embedded with the Ultranationalists, with the aid of loyalist forces led by Sergeant Kamarov. Their helicopter is later shot down, but they survive with support from an AC-130 gunship.
The United States invades the Middle Eastern country to capture Al-Asad. Sergeant Paul Jackson, serving under Lieutenant Vasquez and Staff Sergeant Griggs, takes part in the assault, but U.S. forces fail to find Al-Asad. Intelligence indicates that a Russian nuclear device may be in the capital. As Marines attempt to withdraw from the city, the device detonates, killing Jackson, Vasquez, and much of the invasion force.
Price's team and the Russian loyalists track Al-Asad to a safe house in Azerbaijan. During the interrogation, Price answers Al-Asad's phone and recognizes the caller as Imran Zakhaev, the leader of the Russian Ultranationalists. Price executes Al-Asad and recounts his previous encounter with Zakhaev.
In 1996, after the Chernobyl disaster and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Zakhaev profits from nuclear proliferation and uses his wealth to build the Ultranationalist movement. Price, then a lieutenant, and Captain MacMillan are sent to assassinate him in Pripyat, Ukraine. Price shoots Zakhaev, severing his arm, but Zakhaev survives and Price and MacMillan escape.
In the present, Ultranationalist forces attack the safe house, but Price's team is rescued by Marines led by Griggs. The SAS, Marines, and Russian loyalists form a joint task force to capture Zakhaev's son, Victor, hoping to learn Zakhaev's location. When cornered, Victor commits suicide. Zakhaev retaliates by seizing a nuclear launch facility in the Altai Mountains and launches intercontinental ballistic missiles toward the United States.
The task force retakes the facility and destroys the missiles over the Atlantic Ocean. During their escape, Zakhaev's forces destroy a bridge, trapping the survivors. Griggs is killed, and Zakhaev executes Gaz and other wounded soldiers. Then, Kamarov and his loyalist forces arrive and destroy Zakhaev's aircraft. Price then slides a pistol to Soap, who kills Zakhaev and his escorts. Kamarov and his forces land and evacuate Price, Soap, and the other survivors.
