Currently in theaters, The Siege, written and directed by Ed Zwick (Glory, Courage Under Fire) and starring Denzel Washington, Annette Bening and Bruce Willis, paints a picture of a New York City brought to its knees by an unstoppable terrorist campaign. FBI anti-terrorist agent Anthony "Hub" Hubbard (Washington) must track down the terrorist cells with the aid of the questionably motivated CIA operative Elise Kraft (Bening). But the FBI investigation is unable to prevent the escalation of violence, so the President invokes the War Powers Act and imposes martial law upon New York, under General William Devereaux (Willis...
...Siege The Siege features Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis and Annette Bening. Billed as a "reality" movie, The Siege presents the all-too-plausible scenario of a group of terrorists wreaking havoc in New York City while our government leaders fumble and search for ways to cope.

They also...

Strongly reminiscent of Courage Under Fire and Crimson Tide, Washington plays the familiar uptight keeper of morals and courage that he always does brilliantly, and he singularly maintains the drive in the film. Bruce Willis is General Will Deveraux of the Army, the blindly obedient servant to his country who puts his allegiance to the flag above any personal morals. Unfortunately, he appears disappointingly infrequently in the film, and his part seems little more than an expanded cameo. Annette Bening...
