The Negotiator

Maverick hostage negotiator Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is framed for embezzlement and murder. Newly married and unjustly faced with prison, Roman turns hostage-taker to smoke-out the guilty ones.
Squaring off against him is respected, methodical negotiator Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey). Under siege and racing the clock, the two lock in a deadly battle of wits. F.Gary Gray ('Set It Off') directs the leads and a top ensemble cast (including David Morse and J.T. Walsh) in a story honed with spiraling tension and volatile action.
In a dazzling series of twists and gambits, Roman and Sabian face off against time and each other.
