A special officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ), an investigator of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and a general of the United States Armed Forces vowed to "support and defend the Constitution." When a large bus exploded in front of them and a group of terrorists were surrounded by terrorists unscrupulously creating bloody incidents, they took different ways to defend their vows.
Melo , the commander of the joint anti-terrorist team of the FBI and the New York Police Department, wants to defend the peace in New York and send the terrorists to the court; Alice Kraft (Annette Benin) is an agent of the CIA and is concerned about the activities of the American عَرَب . Have close contact with them and get information from them. The two of them were forced to work together to deal with the increasingly serious terrorist activities.
But before they completed their mission, the public's call for safety forced the president to issue martial law, which was enforced with the help of the military. General William was a suspicious and alert man, he knew the consequences of bringing the army into the street. Although he argued for this, when the order came to him, he obeyed as a soldier.
When the terrorist incident became more severe, the three of them entered a dilemma. This country that claims to be democratic is about to be broken by his own actions.
What to do when protection and freedom conflict? Facing this kind of problem, how should the citizens of a society measure it? How many ugly phenomena are there under the surface of freedom? Or sum it up as a question: Should the people become terrorists themselves in order to oppose terrorists?
When you are walking on the street, and the street is full of troops, the panic in the hearts of the people, the helplessness in the eyes of the children, and the panic, hunger, and disease caused by the war, this is what the terrorists want. At this time, how will a free country respond to protect its people from fear and protect their rights?
This is another masterpiece by director Edzwick following "The Courage of Fire". It was inspired by several reports about terrorists. "When the terrorists were placed in the US World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, After the bomb and succeeded.", it wanted to use the big screen to show how a free country would end up with terrorists. This is not a story about terrorists. It's a story about "us".
This is also the third time that Danzo Washington has collaborated with director Ed. Ed said: “I admire his work attitude very much. He always chooses challenging jobs. I think I am not only his working partner, but also He is his biggest fan.” The role played by the gold medal-nominated Ana Amari Benin in " The Siege " is the most complicated. Not only is the character complex, but the inner complex emotions cannot be described in words. This role is indeed none other than her. The role of General was interpreted by Bruce Willie, who was chosen because of his self-confidence and the image he gave to the public, and it was the first time that Bruce Willie and Danzo Washington performed on the same stage.
