Frank and Joe have landed a couple of cool jobs at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Acting as volunteers, they'll get to watch some of the world's best athletes go for the gold. But from the very start of the opening ceremonies, they realize they are also witnesses to a serious outbreak of crime.

The Hardys suspect that a distant war has come to the Olympics, turning the fields of competition into a terrorist battleground. Suddenly the boys are running the most important race of all...knowing this is one game that could turn deadly at any moment!
