Chapter 110~Terms and Conditions apply if u want to watch VANTAGE POINT
Tagline:8 Strangers. 8 Points of View. 1 Truth.
Plot Outline:With a Rashomon narrative style, the attempted assassination of the president is told from several different perspectives.
Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist video taping the event to show his kids. There is also Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. We follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes before and immediately after the shooting to get to the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt.
