Sounds thrilling, Jed Power!

I suggest changing "In the dead of night" to the inciting incident. I don't think "In the dead of night" adds anything to the logline.

I also suggest taking out "in this heart-pounding thriller with a chilling twist." That sounds like it belongs in the pitch instead of the logline.

Something like: "After/when _________________ (inciting incident), a dementia-stricken U.S. President faces a harrowing decision: launch nuclear missiles at ___________ or risk annihilation."
