The film opens with the bombing of a US Army Barracks in Saudi Arabia (using real-life news footage from the Khobar Towers bombing) leading to both civilian and military American casualties. The U.S. blames a group led by a certain "Sheikh Ahmed bin Talal" who is subsequently seized and surgically extracted before being held under the watch of Major General William Devereaux (Bruce Willis).
FBI Special Agent Anthony Hubbard (Denzel Washington) and his Lebanese-American partner Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) are told of a hijacked bus, fully loaded with passengers and containing an apparent explosive device. The bomb turns out merely to be a huge paint bomb and the terrorists manage to escape. The FBI receives warnings to release Sheikh Ahmed bin Talal.
Hubbard eventually comes into conflict with CIA agent Elise Kraft (Annette Benning). Hubbard takes a terrorist suspect into custody and arrests Kraft. Afterwards another terrorist threat is made and a bus is bombed. When the FBI captures a man named Samir Nazhde he admits to signing the visa application of one of the suicide bombers in the course of signing many applications for student visas in his job as a lecturer. However, Kraft insists that Samir is not a terrorist and that his continued freedom is vital to the investigation. Kraft is both romantically involved with Samir and his handler.
