In response to American Government policy and actions in the Middle East, terrorists have infiltrated New York and they are determined to launch havoc by launching a series of suicide bomb attacks on public targets.FBI Agent Anthony Hubbard (Denzel Washington) and his Lebanese- American partner Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) have the task of stopping them.
But the situation gets out of hand as series upon series of massive bombs rock New York. Obviously, the FBI is not up to the task. And the situation becomes more dangerous when the United States President declares Martial Law and the US Army takes charge of the country. The police state has began.
Hubbard, Haddad and CIA Agent Elise Kraft must act right, and fast in order to prevent the United States from slipping into the pit of Fascism.
