The Story:
After years of covering one war after another, journalist Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) loses his composure during a live broadcast covering the Bosnian War. While his career spirals downhill, that of his long-time camera man Duck (Terrence Howard) goes in the opposite direction. Duck gets a cushy job at the network, while Hunt is left following war after war, unemployed, in an attempt to get back on top.
Now years later Duck, along with Franklin Harris (James Brolin) and Benjamin Strauss (Jesse Eisenberg), the son of the Network's Vice-President, have landed in Bosnia during the fall of 2000, 5 years after the Bosnian war. Covering the peace treaty there.
Duck runs into Simonby this point, a desperate, cynical freelancer who needs a story big enough to propel him back to the realm of credibility. He tells Duck that, through a source, he has located Radoslav Bogdanoviknown as "The Fox" (Ljubomir Kerekes) who is a wanted war criminal with a US$5 million bounty on his head: he is assumed to be in the village of elebii in Republika Srpska (Serbian entity in Bosnia), near the border with Montenegro.
Duck and Benjamin join Simon and journey out of Bosnia to travel to Montenegro. It is here they will meet with UN Official, Eknath Bharwani, who is not even aware of indictment details for Boghdanovic, and is quite content following instructions to not go anywhere near the last known location of the culprit. The trio will soon find out that the UN, NATO, The Hague, CIA amongst others are not only intent on keeping this war criminal's whereabouts a secret, but will oppose anyone who even tries to locate him. The trio find themselves in a soup when Boghdanovic and his henchman, a Psycho who has a tattoo on his forehead, find them and begin torturing them as they suspect them of being CIA Agents. The question remains who will come to their rescue?
