In November of 1999, Seattle broke into a full-scale state of emergency as thousands of peaceful protestors gathered in resistance to the World Trade Organisation. The city's mayor, a SWAT cop on the streets and his pregnant wife, and four demonstrators are caught in the crossfire as their lives intersect in the ensuing riots. Writer and director, Stuart Townsend, seamlessly merges actual footage of the devastating chaos with brilliant performances from Ray Liotta, Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez and Martin Henderson.
