President Ashton (William Hurt) is attending a global war on terror summit in Spain.
Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are two of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect him.
This is the first action that Agent Barnes has been in since he took a bullet for President Ashton six-month earlier.
We really dont know if Agent Barnes is up to the challenge of protecting the President.
Shortly after President Ashton is escorted to the stage in the plaza by the Secret Service, he is immediately shot twice by a rifle from a window and falls to the floor.
The crowd is in shock and chaos breaks out all over, especially, when bombs begin to explode.
Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) is an American video-taping the event to show to his children that he was actually there at this historic event.
He believes that he has the picture of the man who shot the President.
Agent Barnes sees the tape and has a clue to that person.
Several different people witness the event, and only through their eyes do we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.

Watched the movie today. Cool movie. Really a different type of a movie. The movie rewinds back an forth several times to show the incident in 8 different views.
So at one stage you're a terrorist, again you're the president, Then you're the Detective, again a tourist... Damn... An intelligent movie
Must watch!
