While “The Kingdom” doesn’t open until September 28th, I just attended the press day and was able to participate in interviews with the stars and the director (Peter Berg). In the coming weeks I’ll be posting transcripts with the audio, but until then, I thought you’d enjoy a bunch of movie clips, a featurette and some behind the scenes footage from when they were making the movie.
The only thing I want to warn you about is the clips do contain spoilers. I saw the movie not knowing anything and thought it was a great film that audiences are going to love. I didn’t know what was going to happen…and I’m glad I didn’t. So while I often recommend watching the clips… I just wanted to warn you before viewing these...
Here’s the synopsis followed by all the video. Look for some great video interviews tomorrow.
Jamie Foxx leads an all-star ensemble in a timely thriller that tracks a powder-keg criminal investigation shared by two cultures chasing a deadly enemy ready to strike again in The Kingdom.
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 (Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team (Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) 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 Police Captain Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhoum), 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.
