Lieutenant Danny Roman (Samuel L. Jackson) is a top police hostage negotiator. When he cannot talk a hostage-taker into surrendering, he offers himself as an additional hostage and lures the subject into a position where he can be taken down with the minimum use of force, rather than an all-out assault. He has a deserved reputation for being the best, although he is not without his detractors, such as Beck (David Morse), who thinks Roman takes too many chances.
