| Summary: | SWAT marksmen stand ready as Danny Roman desperate to clear himself of false charges holds the chief of the IAD and his staff at gunpoint. He asks that Chris Sabian, a respected negotiator from another precinct, be brought in to negotiate. Maverick hostage negotiator Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is framed for embezzlement and murder. Newly married and unjustly faced with prison, Roman turns hostage-taker to smoke out the guilty ones. Squaring off against him is respected, methodical negotiator Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey). Under siege and racing the clock, the two lock in a deadly battle of wits. F. Gary Gray (Set It Off) directs the leads and a top ensemble cast (including David Morse and J.T Walsh) in a story honed with spiralling tension and volatile action. In a dazzling series of twists and gambits, Roman and Sabian face off against time and each other. |
