Synopsis:
To survive the night, cops and criminals alike will have to unite and
fight. A classic head-to-head showdown ignites in an all-new update of
the 1976 action thriller of the same name. With only a few hours left in
the calendar year, Precinct 13, one of Detroit's oldest precinct houses,
is closing. Amid heavy snowfall and unsafe road conditions, only a few
lawmen remain on duty for New Year's Eve. They are headed by Sergeant
Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke), a good cop wrestling with bad memories of a
fatal undercover op from the previous spring. Roenick and Precinct 13
have both seen better days. Early on December 31st, deep in the city,
formidable crime lord Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), is cornered by
an undercover cop. Their ensuing struggle leaves the cop dead - and
Bishop captured, by the Organized Crime and Racketeering squad that
Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) runs. Bishop is handcuffed and herded onto
a prison bus with several criminals: junkie Beck (John Leguizamo),
hustler Smiley (Ja Rule), and gang member Anna (Aisha Hinds). But the
battering snowstorm stops the bus well short of its high-security
destination and strands it at the remote Precinct 13 - where, as night
falls, the prisoners are temporarily incarcerated. This influx of
prisoners irks Roenick, almost as much as visiting police psychologist
Alex Sabian (Maria Bello) does. But Precinct 13's provocative secretary
Iris Ferri (Drea de Matteo) and salty veteran cop Jasper "Old School"
O'Shea (Brian Dennehy) won't let the increasing workload deter them from
celebrating...until two masked gunmen break in and attack the guards
from the bus. The gunmen are just barely beaten back, and everyone
inside Precinct 13 realizes that more will come - to extract crime lord
Bishop, but also armed and ready to shoot anyone and everyone else. The
cops, looking to the reluctant Roenick for leadership, and the cons,
looking to the steely Bishop for an angle, must join forces to live.
Fortifying themselves with minimal weaponry and maximum courage, they
will not go gently into the bad night. As they fight to the death, the
thin lines between good and bad bleed together.
