This film abounds with the principle of the scape goat victim. It offers a profound look at sacrifice, justice and satisfaction. An angry Muslim crowd turns on an U.S. Embassy in Yemen. Cars are set aflame. A battering ram pounds on the locked entrance.
Guns batter the walls with bullets.
Col. Terry Childers, USMC, is ordered to lead a squadron of Marines to bolster security at the embassy. He has orders to evacuate Ambassador Mourain and his family if the situation turns violent. The scene is ugly. Violence is escalating. Childers escorts the ambassador, his wife and their only son safely through the hail of bullets, rocks and fire to the rescue helicopter.
