The Negotiator.

I watched this movie called the negotiator yesterday. It was quite a cool show. This is roughly how the story is like. Awesome movie, although it's very old.

Danny Roman (SAMUEL L. JACKSON) is the best hostage negotiator on the Chicago police force. Known for his often unorthodox ways of dealing with terrorists, his behavior irritates S.W.A.T. commander Adam Beck (DAVID MORSE), while worrying his friend and associate, Commander Frost (RON RIFKIN) and his supervisor, Chief Al Travis (JOHN SPENCER).

Newly married to wife Karen (REGINA TAYLOR), Danny agrees to tone down his crazy demeanor. Yet when his partner is killed after investigating some internal embezzlement of pension funds and Danny is framed as the suspect in both matters, he has no choice but to take radical action. Suddenly and unintentionally taking internal affairs Inspector Niebaum (J.T. WALSH) hostage, along with Frost and several others, Danny suddenly finds himself poised against his own team.

Knowing that he needs time to uncover the truth and discover who's behind it, Danny demands that Chicago's other top negotiator, Chris Sabian (KEVIN SPACEY) be brought in. Aware of Sabian's nonviolent track record, Danny realizes that Sabian could be a powerful ally in his quest although the two don't know each other except through reputation.

As Beck and his team move into position around Danny's 20th floor barricade and the FBI arrives ready to take over the operation, Sabian races against time to diffuse the potentially explosive situation before Danny and his hostages are injured or possibly killed.
