On 15 March 1984, Ashraf Hussain, Francis Adaikalaraj, RD Bora convicted for 20 years imprisonment for their involvement in various Anti-national activities. Being unremorseful, the convicts play Chinese Chequers whilst the judge sentences them. Approaching the escort van, one of the convicts boisterously rebukes at press of becoming free soon.
The very next day, a nuclear-capable ICBM, AgniPutra is being dispatched from an unknown location to Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota only to be stolen enroute by Sugirtharaja (Sathyaraj) and his henchmen. Back in Head Quarters (HQ), a visibly distraught panel of ministers and military top brass led by Rao (Charu Hasan) mulls over the dangerous prospects of the missle falling into terrorists' hands and finally pick Commander Arun Kumar Vikram (Kamal Haasan), to locate the AgniPutra with some resentment. Secretary (T. S. Raghavendra), eavesdrop and passes informs Sugirtharaja about Vikram, who sends a henchmen (Vikram Dharma) to kill Vikram. The plan fails as Vikram's three-month old pregnant wife (Ambika), accidentally get shot point blank. Enraged Vikram returns and rebukes Rao for the costly leak and deftly exposes the mole, the secretary. After torturing, Thangaraj names Sugirtharaja as the mastermind in front of the panel, and jumps to his death without giving any further details.
