When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol-and with the clock ticking on their five days-the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts, who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Colonel Al-Ghazi, who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist cell bent on further destruction. With these unlikely allies sharing a propulsive commitment to crack the case, the team is led to the killer's front door in a blistering do-or-die confrontation. Now in a fight for their own lives, strangers united by one mission won't stop until justice is found in The Kingdom.
This movie is a giant thrill ride. What differentiates it from the normal Saudi terrorists VS American FBIs movies is the fact that this movie is not biased and portrays both sides equally and neutrally. This movie does not give the common impression that Saudis are bad and the Americans are good like other movies of its kind normally do.
My favorite part of the movie is where the observant Colonel Al-Ghazi spotted the notorious terrorist "head" Abu Hamza when he and the FBI team unknowingly stumbled upon his clan. Abu Hamza has been hunted down for years and even referred to as a ghost by some due to the fact that he is good at covering up his tracks. Just after Colonel Al-Ghazi pointed him out, he was shot to death by Abu Hamza's grandson. T_T I know this is such a spoiler. =P
