Buitenbeentje Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson), onderhandelaar bij gijzelingen, wordt erin geluisd voor verduistering en moord. Roman is pas getrouwd en kijkt aan tegen een - onterechte - gevangenisstraf. Om de schuldigen te ontmaskeren, gaat hij noodgedwongen zelf gijzelaars nemen. Zijn tegenstander is de gerespecteerde, methodische onderhandelaar Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey). In een race tegen de tijd raken de twee verzeild in een dodelijk spel van vernuft. F. Gary Gray (Set It Off) regisseert een topcast (met David Morse en J.T. Walsh) in een verhaal dat bol staat van escalerende spanning en actie. In een verblindende reeks plotwendingen en trucs moeten Roman en Sabian het tegen elkaar - en de tijd - opnemen.
