Synopsis
A television movie about a captured international terrorist who is brought to the United States to stand trial. The drama, set in the immediate future, focuses on a hypothetical law which would allow the United States to unilaterally extradite foreign nationals accused of carrying out or supervising violent crimes against American citizens abroad. Less powerful governments have no such recourse against terrorism sponsored by the United States.
