Synopsis: The Siege (1998)
Synopis: When the U.S. military abducts a Muslim leader, New York City becomes the target of several terrorist attacks in this gripping political thriller ripped from newspaper headlines. Denzel Washington stars as Anthony "Hub" Hubbard, the head of the FBI terrorism task force who is charge of investigating the bombings. Ironically, Hub's partner, Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub), is Arab-American and must fight for his family's rights as the citizens of New York become increasingly paranoid about the Arab-American population. Elise Kraft (Annette Bening) is an undercover CIA official and Middle East expert who is also investigating the terrorist attacks and joins Hub and Frank as they search for the terrorists. As Hub, Elise, and Frank work to uncover the source of the terrorism, the city erupts in escalating madness, spiraling out of control until the government sends in General William Devereaux (Bruce Willis), who takes over the city and declares martial law. Ultimately, the government seizes the male Arab-American population of New York in makeshift internment camps in this incredibly relevant and cautionary thriller that examines the real dilemma of how a democratic society can uphold the rights of its citizens while under military protection. Director Edward Zwick's film features excellent performances from an all-star cast and includes real footage of President Clinton addressing the problem of terrorism.Features: The Siege (1998)

Half The Dialogue Came True!
, January 16, 2002Reviewer: dave1761us - See all dave1761us's reviewsJust saw it on USA. Geeze! Unreal how so much stuff in this flick came true! Not the marshall law baloney, but the stuff about student visas, cells, etc. Maybe the CIA should go to the movies more often. -
The Siege
, October 13, 2001An offense against reason, with Denzel Wash-
ington one more time (yawn) portraying a
super-hero in this gore festival. Bruce Willis looked extremely uncomfortable; he must have
been paying off a poker debt. Nothing even
remotely redeeming about the entire film.
The ending was especially dumb.
