Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ted Young is an archaeology professor at the turn of the millennium, and unlike Indiana Jones the job actually means what it says. He's not really prepared for the DEA to send him to Mexico City, to find out whether a former colleague has been smuggling artifacts for drug smugglers. He is completely unprepared for the hornets nest he winds up stumbling into. Within a day of his arrival, he has stumbled onto the Smoking Mirrors, a vicious gang of drug dealers that have revived the ancient Aztec religion. And they want him dead. Rescued by Colonel Crane, a secret agent with a mysterious agenda, he flees for his life. But just as he reaches the safety of the United States, he learns why the Smoking Mirrors were so desperate to kill him. The Aztec gods require blood sacrifice. And the evidence he recovered from their temple is radioactive.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Batman Gambit: Several. Crane is dismissive of Ted explaining his revelation of what the Smoking Mirrors want in order to draw out details, and tapes it because Ted being exasperated in the face of opposition will make the analysts he forwards the theory too take it more seriously. The nuclear weapon is one as well, it's not the primary threat. The plan is to make everyone flee the city when they see the mushroom cloud. Then, when everyone is trapped on the highway, the smoking mirrors will release Anthrax.

Attending Your Own Funeral: Symbolically. To help Ted get used to the fact that his old life is over, Crane's team throw him a funeral party. To drive the point home, several people talking to Ted about his situation through the book refer to their current "officially dead" status as an afterlife.
