Acclaimed film director Sidney Lumet joins forces with Emmy-winning Oz creator Tom Fontana to explore the precarious status of individual liberties post-9/11 through two parallel stories - each containing identical dialogues - taking place on two continents half a world away. The film ingeniously weaves together cautionary scenarios in which two graduate students - one a female American in China, the other a male Arab in New York - are detained without hard evidence and interrogated about activities which may or may not relate to terrorist plots. The film explores the plights of these very different people, both of whom are relentlessly questioned and then strip-searched by a pair of government officials who are intent on eliciting information to protect the public safety in the face of the threat of imminent terrorist attack. In the end, Strip Search explores one of the most important contemporary questions of the new century: Must security and safety come at the price of freedom? El aclamado director Sidney Lumet (Network, Da de perros) se une con el ganador del Emmy y creador de "Oz" Tom fontana y con el director/productor ganador del Oscar Barry Levinson para explorar esta pregunta despus de lo acontecido el 11 de Septiembre. Este fascinante trama psicolgico protagonizado por Glenn Closey Maggie Gyllenhaal, revela el peligroso escenario de dos estudiantes graduados -una chica americana en China y un chico rabe en Nueva York- detenidos debido al presunto complot terrorista, registro exhaustivo y celosas interrogaciones. Al final, "Registro al desnudo" explora la bsqueda de la verdad y una importante pregunta de estos tiempos:  La seguridad y la tranquilidad tienen el mismo precio que la libertad?
