The Kingdom is a 2007 film directed by Peter Berg and starring Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Ashraf Barhom, Kyle Chandler, and Ali Suliman. It was co-produced by Academy Award nominated director Michael Mann. The film is fictional, but inspired by bombings at the Riyadh compound on May 12, 2003 and the Khobar housing complex on June 26, 1996 in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The story follows a team of FBI agents who are sent to investigate the bombing of a foreign-workers facility.
Synopsis Terrorists attack a compound for foreign workers in Riyadh, killing over a hundred people including Special Agent Francis Manner (Kyle Chandler)-- the FBI's lead agent in Saudi Arabia. While the FBI is hamstrung by diplomatic sensitivities and unable to send agents to investigate, Special Agent Fleury (Jamie Foxx) takes matters into his own hands and leads a team to investigate. With agents Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman), and Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper) at his side, he hopes to discover who was responsible for the bombing within a week's time. However, the team find their investigation of the scene stalled by bureaucracy and their presence, as American outsiders, unwelcome. They eventually gain the trust of Saudi Arabian police officer Colonel Faris Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhoum) and his colleague Sgt Haytham (Ali Suliman), with whom they work to find the perpetrator. As Ghazi and the agents close on the terrorist responsible for the bombing, their convoy is attacked and Leavitt is abducted. The agents then move in on the terrorist leader's neighborhood. Al Ghazi is killed and Agent Fleury and his team return home.

this show is pretty good. well, there are some unbelievable scenes where the FBIs were pretty damn accurate while the terrorists couldnt hit anything even at close range and stuff like that, but the story is suprisingly good.
i was expecting a bunch of western stereotypes of the muslims, but it was handled pretty well. basically it shows that everybody hates somebody for a reason, not just bcoz they read something in a holy book or bcoz their boss says so.

i must ask, did you write that synopsis yourself?
it was well written except that you MUST warn readers that it contains SPOILERS: such as much of the PLOT and the ENDING. (if that was the ending where

Al Ghazi got killed and the Super Agent Fleury and team return home.
I will watch this movie, for its action..but I know this movie was made so that the Yanks can feel good about themselves, manage to kill every single terrorists with a single shot while the terrorists couldnt shoot straight even to save their lives..
nah... if this is correct,the main characters need not worry about snipers:
I agree coz if they can't shot accurately in short range, then with sniper long range oso no use.... Another misleading concept of reality and fantasy.... How come the heroes always shoot so accurately...?
