[edit] Plot
Set in Washington D.C., this film documents an attempted power grab by White House Chief of Staff Jacob Conrad (Donald Sutherland). Bobby Bishop (Charlie Sheen) is a special aide to the president, and finds out about a plot to assassinate the president from an old high school friend. Bobby's friend is quickly murdered, and he is left to try and uncover the conspiracy on his own. He recruits his journalist friend Amanda Givens (Linda Hamilton) to help him uncover the mystery and stop the assassination.
The movie involves several chase scenes and a harrowingly close assassination attempt at the end.
