SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx leads an all-star ensemble
in a timely thriller that tracks a powder-keg criminal investigation
shared by two cultures chasing a deadly enemy ready to strike
again in The Kingdom.
When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing
compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident
is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism,
FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Foxx) quickly assembles an
elite team (Oscar® winner Chris Cooper and Golden Globe
winners Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) and negotiates
a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman
behind the bombing.
Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his
team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming
of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter.
Hamstrung by protocol - and with the clock ticking on their
five days - the FBI agents find their expertise worthless
without the trust of their Saudi counterparts, who want to
locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms.
Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Colonel
Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhoum), who helps them navigate royal politics
and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings
of an extremist cell bent on further destruction. With these
unlikely allies sharing a propulsive commitment to crack the
case, the team is led to the killer’s front door in
a blistering do-or-die confrontation. Now in a fight for their
own lives, strangers united by one mission won’t stop
until justice is found in The Kingdom.
