Plot
Jim Street (Farrell) is a hotshot cop for the LA police department. When his loose-cannon partner Brian Gamble (Renner) shoots a hostage, they break ties, Gamble leaves the force, and Street is sentenced to the gun cage. When Sgt. Dan "Hondo" Harrelson (Jackson) is called out of retirement, he puts together a team, made up of Street, Chris Sanchez (Rodriguez), Deke Kaye (LL Cool J), T.J. McCabe (Charles), and Michael Boxer (van Holt). Almost immediately, they get thrown into trouble as Alex Montel (Martinez) kills his uncle, and he gets pulled over for a broken tail-light. Since the car is in his uncle's name, who had warrants against him, they arrest him and decide to hold him until they can confirm his identity. After they discover his identity, he offers "$100 million to whoever gets me out of here." All hell breaks loose as multiple plans to get him to a prison unravel by radical people who want a slice of that money. The final showdown is between a crew led by Gamble and SWAT. All ends well and Montel is finally brought to a maximum-security prison.
