PLOT
During a softball game in an American housing
colony in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a group of Al Qaeda terrorists lashed a massive
assault on the innocent people by rapid firing and suicide bombing, which
results in the death of large number of Americans and Saudis. When special
agent Frank Manner calls his colleague Ronald Fluery (Jamie Foxx) to inform the
incident a second massive explosion happens and results in the death of Manner.
Fluery made all his
efforts to get into the Saudi soil to investigate the bizarre incident by overcoming
the opposition from all bureaucratic personals. He made a team with Special Agent Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), a
forensic examiner, FBI analyst Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman), an intelligence
analyst, and Special Agent Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper), a bomb technician to
carry on the investigation, but the Saudis where not at all cooperating with
the FBI officials, they were not even allow to enter the crime scene or to make
any forensic reports. Fluery finds a better officer among them and that is Colonel
Faris al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), the commander of the Saudi State Police Force.
But except him they had to face all other odds to find the gang behind the
massacre.
The Kingdom is a 2007 movie which is based on the 1996 bombing of the
Khobar housing complex and the 2003 bombing of the Riyadh compound, from all
other military based movies this happens to be stand off among them. Action
scenes are very less when comparing with a normal military movie, but it strictly follows its storyline and happens to
be a good work. The climax scene in this movie conveys a great message that the
fight between militants and the army is a never ending one.
