In this action-packed, edge-of-your-seat thriller Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as a military official who has just been recently appointed second-in-command to a U.S. ambassador overseas. Diplomatic Sam Keenan (Van Damme) is quickly indoctrinated into his new position when a foreign leader takes refuge inside an American embassy during a militia uprising. Besieged by a band of heavily-armed insurgents, the embassy soon becomes Ground Zero of a dangerous and destructive battle. Now, it is up to Keenan and a small detachment of U.S. Marines to fend off the attackers before it's too late.
