西雅图斗争

为期五天的世界贸易组织部长级会议即将在西雅图召开，于是，一群反对全球经济一体化的市民们自发的聚集到了这座城市，进行抗议示威活动，姜戈（安德雷·本杰明 André Benjamin 饰）、露（米歇尔·罗德里格兹 Michelle Rodriguez 饰）和山姆（珍妮弗·卡彭特 Jennifer Carpenter 饰）等人就在其中，他们为了自己心中的信念奔走呼号，场面十分热烈。 　　随着时间的推移，抗议现场的气氛渐渐变得紧张起来，骚乱接连发生，纵火、打杂、抢劫，游行眼看着就要变为一场暴乱，西雅图市长吉姆（雷·利奥塔 Ray Liotta 饰）当即宣布城市进入紧急状态，就这样，警察（伍迪·哈里森 Woody Harrelson 饰）和他怀孕的妻子被卷入了这场劫难之中，悲剧眼看就要发生。In late November 1999, masses are descending upon Seattle for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Conference, the first ever held on American soil. Beyond the several delegates, career protesters are also coming to Seattle, they who believe the non-elected organization only exists to support corporate interests at the expense of the poor, working class and the environment among other things. Before the conference, the lead known protesters vow that their demonstrations will be peaceful, while Seattle Mayor Jim Tobin promises that if that be the case that no arrests will be made and no aggressive action, such as the use of tear gas, will be issued. On day one of the conference, tensions on both sides escalate the confrontation between police and protesters, with many innocent people caught in the crossfire. As such, what was promised ends up not happening during the remainder of the conference, where many on both sides work not for the greater good of their side, but rather for their own personal interests because of their experience on day one. These battles outside the official conference are not the only ones happening in Seattle, as many of the conference delegates, such as Doctors Without Borders and those from some of the poorer nations, try to get across the point of many of the protesters - albeit in a more diplomatic method - while seemingly ignored by those in the upper echelon of the organization.
