The Kingdom
DVD - 2007
A terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, causing an international incident to ignite. 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. Fleury and his team discover that the Saudi authorities are suspicious and unwelcoming of the Americans into what they consider a local matter. The agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts. Luckily, the agents find a partner in Saudi Colonel Al-Ghazi, who helps them navigate royal politics and helps unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist cell bent on further destruction.

Add a CommentA frightening look at how well-protected terrorists are in Saudi Arabia. In fact many of them are in the royal national guard. :0 This film is a compilation of three events but the facts are accurate.
No comment on the movie itself because the disc was incredibly scratched and the film kept freezing. I finally gave up because I was missing too much to be able to follow the plot.
Boring!
Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, it comes off feeling half finished. Parts feel rushed, both the story arc and the characters feel underdeveloped. Still not a bad movie, at times it does make you think, and as far as traditional "good guy v. bad guy" films go, it does a better job of humanizing both sides than most.
After a terrorist bombing in Saudia Arabia a team of FBI special agents travel to Riyadh to investigate the scene. Not only that, they are intent on finding those responsible for the deaths of over 100 people, mostly Americans that lived and worked there. The team ultimately gets some needed cooperation and then go after the terrorists. The movie provides an interesting glimpse of everyday life in Saudia Arabia as well as some intense battle scenes.
Put your kevlar helmet on, this is a good movie!
Lots of action. Well written plot.
Not to bad for a war movie, I wouldn't go out of my to see it. Lots of action.
