Synopsis:
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 and it is the first action that Agent Barnes has been in since he took a bullet for President Ashton six-months earlier. 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.
Chaos breaks out, and when bombs begin to explode, the crowd situation gets out of control. Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) is an American video-taping the event and believes he has the picture of the man who shot the President. Several others also witness the event, and only through their eyes do we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.
