This feature stars Nicole Kidman as the strong, competent nuclear weapons expert Dr. Julia Kelly. She is the only female character of much significance, but a few named very minor characters help it squeak by the criteria. Kelly has a subordinate named Sue, and they have a single brief exchange about Sue getting her a full report about something. At this stage it is unclear if that report is about the nuclear weapon, or the male suspect they are seeking, so I give it a dubious pass on the final criterion.
