The President of the United States is in Salamanca, Spain, about to address the city in a public square. We see a plain-clothes cop, his girlfriend with another man, a mother and child, an American tourist with a video camera, and a Secret Service agent newly returned from medical leave. Shots ring out and the President falls; a few minutes later, we hear a distant explosion, then a bomb goes off in the square. Those minutes are retold, several times, emphasizing different characters' actions. Gradually, we discover who's behind the plot. Is the Secret Service one step ahead, or have the President's adversaries thought of everything?—

Vantage Point

Vantage Point (2008)

In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it's unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this?—

The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)

The Kincaid family - father Jack (Owen Wilson), his wife Lily (Jessie Mueller), and their son Charlie (Louie Chaplin Moss) - are camping overnight. Not far from them, U.S. Air Force Captain Sean Irons (Jesse Williams) drives by them, injured and in search of an artifact he has traced to that location. Jack finds him and tries to help him, and they discover a crashed aircraft in a nearby field. Emerging from the aircraft is a glowing orb that scans both men, choosing Jack as its guardian. The aircraft then self-destructs.From here on, Jack becomes a superhero called The Guard. While he is regarded as an amazing protector of the world, his duties have caused him to neglect his duties as a father, so he and Lily get divorced, and Charlie stays with his mother.Ten years later, Charlie (now played by Walker Scobell) is part of the baseball team with his best friend Barry Berger (Keith L. Williams). He has a crush on a girl named Maya (Momona Tamada), who used to go to school with him until she transferred out of the country, which Charlie believes is due to an incident he caused when they were kids, while Berger has a crush on another girl, Lizzie (Abby James Witherspoon). During the baseball game, Charlie goes up against a bully called Forrest Deal, AKA "The Sequoia". Forrest goes up to bat and swings the ball square into Charlie's stomach.Berger's brother Big Mac (Kezii Curtis) drives the boys home. Charlie is set to go to Jack's house for his birthday, but he has also felt a distance from his father due to his constant excuses for missing out on his life. However, Charlie is also a big fan of The Guard. Meanwhile, CEO Ansel Argon (Michael Pena) of Argon Tactical has been wanting to use the source of The Guard's power for his own sinister schemes.Lily drives Charlie to Jack's house, where he gives him a baseball mitt as a birthday gift...except it's for the wrong hand, as Charlie is a lefty. Jack makes a save with a Nintendo Switch, and the two spend the night playing together until Jack is called away for work. Charlie calls Jack out on his excuses and accepts that his dad will always disappoint him. Charlie pretends to call Lily to pick him up, but he is actually calling Berger so they can hang out.Berger brings Lizzie and Maya over, to Charlie's surprise (and horror). While talking to Maya, Charlie accidentally opens a secret passageway that leads to Jack's basement. The kids head downstairs and discover what appears to be a lab filled with gadgets and a mission log of all of The Guard's heroic activities, leading Charlie to realize that his father is The Guard. The kids begin playing around with the gadgets. At the same time, it's shown that Irons has been working for Argon, trying and failing to locate The Guard's power source. Argon gives Irons until the end of the week to shut the project down and take his team with him.The kids bring some gadgets to school to use to cheat on a test, and Charlie uses a wristband during his next baseball game to beat Forrest this time. However, their usage of gadgets, as well as Jack's G-Mobile, causes Irons and his team to pick up a signal and track the power source. The cops soon chase after the kids, but they manage to shake them off using more gadgets before they make it back to Jack's house. Jack leaves Charlie a message that he will be gone a little longer than expected.The kids continue to hang out in Jack's lair. Here, Maya recalls the incident between herself and Charlie - when they were five and at a birthday party, they nearly kissed until Charlie chickened out and told the kids that Maya had bad breath, leading to her getting the nickname "Moldy Mouth Maya". Charlie thinks this is why she left school, but she clarifies that her mom had gotten a job transfer. Soon, Irons and his team show up at the house. They manage to make it into the secret headquarters and contact Argon to head over before Irons locks the place down. Charlie manages to grab the power source before the villains find it. While Charlie, Berger, and Maya hide, the bad guys find Lizzie, as well as Big Mac (who turns out to be Lizzie's boyfriend) since he was there to pick her up. The two are held hostage and order Charlie to give up the power source. Charlie puts his hand on the source and sees visions of war and destruction if he gives it to Argon.Argon rigs the place with bombs before the rest of the kids come up with a plan. Berger uses a magnetic wand to hit Argon with a chair and throw him against the wall. They tie him up, and he explains how the power source works to them, as it is an alien artifact that adapts to the environment it inhabits. He wants to use the source to supposedly create weapons to solve the worlds problems, claiming that The Guard is selfish for keeping the power to himself. Charlie gives Argon the power source, but it turns out to be a fake that the kids made with a 3D printer. They cause a diversion by shutting off the power. Meanwhile, Jack sees security camera footage showing that Charlie and his friends are in danger, so he makes his way back home.The kids fight the villains for the power source until Irons gets his hands on it, which also allows him to see similar visions to what Charlie saw, and he realizes Argon cannot be trusted, since he is fully prepared to kill the kids and leave no witnesses. Berger uses the wand to grab the power source and throw it into a portal connected to his locker at school. Jack shows up, and he begins to defend the kids. Argon gets hold of one of Jack's gadgets and forms his own suit, while Jack cannot suit up because he is not fully powered. Argon kidnaps Berger and forces him to show him where the source is at the school. Charlie leads everyone, including Irons, to work together to stop Argon.The gang tries to 3D print jetpacks to head to the school. Lizzie tries to crack the system code while Charlie and Maya get trapped and nearly crushed by falling debris, at which point Charlie admits his feelings to Maya. Lizzie saves them, and they use jetpacks to fly together to head to the school, just as Argon's bombs go off and destroy the lair.As a dance goes on at school, Argon brings Berger to his locker, but one of his teachers took it out of the locker and realizes Argon is a bad guy, so she helps Berger run. Argon forces the other kids in the gym to clear out as he tries to get Berger and the source. Charlie, Jack, and the others arrive for the showdown. Jack suits up and fights Argon, leading to the final confrontation in the gym. Just as Argon tries to grab the power source, Charlie throws a grenade at it, which blows up and sends Argon through a portal. After everyone turns out to be okay, Charlie dances with Maya, and they have their first kiss.Charlie and Jack are later shown finally spending more time together. Charlie gets a distress signal, and Jack shows a new G-Mobile that Charlie can drive when he is older. They then head out on a heroic mission.The ending text/clips show that Irons now works as the head of Mission Control for The Guard, and he continues his podcast on alien things. Lizzie and Big Mac are still dating, and are planning for their own first kiss. Berger uses the portal device to become a DJ. Maya is supposedly interning for the CIA (but it is not confirmed). The Kincaids are now a crime-fighting family. Also, Argon is alive but trapped in another dimension, still stuck in his power suit. (thanks to themoviespoiler)

Secret Headquarters

Secret Headquarters (2022)

Poachers have just killed a pride of lions, but one escaped. The Lion turns into a rogue man-eater and starts attacking the poachers.Recently widowed Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba) and his daughters, Meredith (Iyana Halley) and Norah (Leah Sava Jeffries), arrive at the Mopani Reserve in South Africa for a vacation. Nate reunites with his old friend, Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley), a biologist and Mopani manager, who introduced Nate and his wife Amalhe (Naledi Mogadime). Martin takes Nate and the girls to the village where Nate's wife grew up. Nate confides to Martin his guilt over being distant following his and his wife's separation, after which she developed terminal cancer. Meredith blames Nate for abandoning them when their mother was going through cancer.
The trip is to reconnect with his daughters.The next day, Martin and the family tour the reserve's restricted areas. Martin shows them a local lion pride and notices that one is injured. This is a pride that Martin has raised since they were cubs.
At a nearby Tsonga community, Martin discovers most of the population is dead. Suspecting a rogue, man-killing lion is responsible, Martin rushes back to the nearest rangers station to report the finding. Nate & Martin encounter an injured Tsonga man on the road but are unable to save him. Martin is mauled as he tracks the lion with his gun. It then ambushes Nate, who takes cover in the car. Meredith speeds the car away but crashes into a tree, stranding them.Martin radios Nate on a Walkie-talkie, warning him to stay away, saying the lion is using Martin as bait to lure the others out. As the radio is out of range to contact help, Nate assembles a tranquilizer rifle. He confronts the lion, hoping to subdue it long enough to recover Martin and trek back to civilization.
The lion attacks, and Meredith takes advantage of the distraction to save Martin. Nate is knocked off the top of the car and takes refuge under the car. As the lion attacks Nate by trying to get under the car, Norah stabs the lion with a tranquilizer dart from inside the car, after it knocks the gun from Nate's hands. This causes the lion to retreat. Meredith brings Martin back to the car, and Nate treats his wound.As night falls, the now-recovering Martin speculates the lion went rogue after poachers killed its pride. Soon after, the poachers arrive and initially agree to transport the group to the village in exchange for payment. Tensions rise after the poachers spot Martin, an avid anti-poacher, inside the car.
The lion attacks and scatters the poachers, killing most of them. Nate maneuvers his way past the lion and finds the poachers' truck keys. Back at the car, Martin holds the lion off long enough to allow the sisters to escape, though Meredith sustains a deep laceration to her side. The car falls into a ravine and Martin sacrifices himself by setting off an explosion from the leaking gasoline, severely burning the lion. Nate starts the truck and races away with Meredith and Norah but has to stop the car before they run out of fuel. They leave the car and walk to an abandoned schoolhouse nearby. On the way they had passed the pride of lions that Martin had raised from cubs.At the abandoned schoolhouse, which the poachers used as their base, Nate treats Meredith's wound and forages for water. The lion appears and stalks the girls, but Nate returns and scares it off. Locking his daughters inside a room, Nate promises to return after subduing the lion. After provoking the lion into chasing him, Nate lures it to the local lion pride which Martin helped raise. The rogue lion overtakes and mauls Nate, nearly killing him, until the pride males intervene and kill the rogue. A Mopani worker arrives and saves Nate as he falls unconscious.Awakening in a hospital, a recovering Nate tells his daughters he loves them.

Beast

Beast (2022)

The second movie ended with Gluttony (Shinji Uchiyama), the Homunculus, swallowing Ed (Ryosuke Yamada), Envy (Kanata Hongo), and Ling Yao (Keisuke Watanabe). They end up in a mock Truth Portal with no exit. Ling Yao and Ed provoke Envy accidentally, and Envy changes form into a monster to target them.
Al (Atom Mizuishi) and Gluttony sit outside, lost in contemplation of their next move.The movie begins discussing the identity of the secretive Van Hohenheim (Seiyo Uchino), Father of Al and Ed. Van Hohenheim tells a lady that anybody who returns from the Gate of Truth is a candidate for human sacrifice. He refers to the Promised Day, which will soon be upon mankind. Van Hohenheim says that if does not win, the country and all its people will be erased.A face-off begins between Ed, Ling Yao, and Envy. Ed and Ling get tossed around by Envy's monster form in retaliation; however, the fight stops, and Envy returns back to his original form when Ed finds a way out. Ed finds a human Transmutation circle inside the Truth Portal. Ed plans to perform a human Transmutation on himself, which he believes will open the portal and allow then to escape.
Meanwhile, Al accompanies Gluttony to meet his Father to bring back Al, Ling, and Envy. Scar and May follow them, as Scar wants to know the truth.
Gluttony goes to a network of tunnels under Central and reaches a chamber which houses the blonde (whom Gluttony calls The Father) controlling Bradley from the 2nd movie. The Father is an exact replica of Van Hohenheim.On the other hand, Mustang (Dean Fujioka) prepares for a coup and tries to figure out if any of the generals are against the Homunculi and knows that Bradley (Hiroshi Tachi) is a Homunculus. Mustang realizes that entire military is corrupt. Bradely tells Mustang that he is a human turned into a Homunculus, called Wrath.Ed, Ling, and Envy eventually escape from Gluttony's portal. The Father uses blood from the Philosopher's Stone to convert Ling into a Homunculus. Ling ends up sharing his body with Greed. With the help of the Greed, they reunite with Scar (Mackenyu) and May (Risa Mei) and escape The Father. They set out to find out about the plans of the military and the Promised Day.
Ling tells Ed that on the Promised Day, The Father plans to open The Door.Scar and Mei wrap their minds around what Scar's brother had left behind, and they find out it was a flipped Transmutation circle. Each point on the circle mapped to a city on the map of the country. Each city was where riots recently took place, including Ishvalan. If the circle is as big as the entire country, countless lives would be sacrificed. They reckon Hughes knew this and was killed as a result.
The flipped Transmutation circle would nullify the Transmutation circle and save all lives. Scar's brother had figured this out by studying both Xing and Amestris alchemist knowledge.With the preparations in place, they find out that the military has been preparing for the Promised Day and that Bradley was helping out his Father. Only the city of Briggs has not yet been taken by Bradley and is thus his next target.
Ed sets out to enlist the help of General Armstrong (Chiaki Kuriyama), who leads the Briggs army. Armstrong agrees with Ed when a Homunculus attacks her base. Armstrong then discovers a huge tunnel underneath the length of the country that runs directly under her army base.
This is when General Raven arrives from Central and starts a war with Drachma, the mortal enemies of the Briggs. Armstrong has no option but to retaliate. The Transmutation Circle is now complete.
Armstrong goes to Bradley and pretends to pledge her allegiance to him to gain access to his inner circle.Al finds Van Hohenheim who tells him about The Father.
The "Dwarf in the Flask" is the Father of the Seven Sins. He created these Seven Homunculi after he experienced emotions, although he had none, and not being able to feel any served as his downfall. He experienced these emotions through Van Hohenheim, Ed, and Al's Father, who he had saved from slavery and offered to help him if he was helped.
Van Hohenheim and Father are intricately related, which also makes the Homunculi Van's children as well. Father or The Dwarf in the Flask had escaped and used Van to get to the King of Xerxes obsessed with Immortality. During the spell, the Father turned on the King and takes over the souls of half the people in the Kingdom.
Father was already joined to Van, thus not killing him off. He took over the King and created a new body for himself modeled on Van and took over the lives of his citizens to fuel his plans to get the power of God.Van realized his mistake and set out to correct his wrongdoings by formulating a plan to overthrow and nullify his Father's plan. Van presents himself to the Father, who proceeds to takeover the power of 536,239 souls inside the Resurrection Stone that Van has. Van could not stop Father from attaining the power of God but instead made the souls that were already inside him, due to the takeover, comply with his plan and destroy Father from the inside. But this only destroyed Father's body, and he reverted to his Dwarf in the Vessel form, only grown up now.Al and Van together link up with Ed. They are attacked by Selim (who is a Homunculus named Pride). Van entombs Al and Selim both inside a prison made of Earth, where Pride cannot use his powers.Meanwhile Armstrong and her army start the attack on Central. She is helped by her older brother Alex Armstrong to help fight the Homunculus.
Selim (Kokoro Terada) (Bradley's adopted son), who is actually Pride, is rescued from his tomb by Gluttony. But Selim kills Gluttony to take his power.Ed and Scar follows the tunnel and finds an army of Homunculus hiding behind a door. This is when Mustang arrives to burn the Homunculus. Envy changes into his monster form and attacks Mustang. Mustang easily defeats Envy and takes away his eyes. But Ed intervenes and prevents Mustang from killing Envy. Envy kills himself off because he feels insulted that the humans were pitying and letting him go considering the difference in their strengths.In order to begin the Human Transmutation so that Father can gain power, Selim arrives to start a ritual of human sacrifice that will bring upon the Promised Day. Mustang is forced to take part in the ritual, which results in Truth taking away his eyes.
The ritual had 5 sacrifices: Van, Ed, Izumi (Ed and Al's alchemist teacher, Mustang, and Al). As the Transmutation circle is completed, the portal opens which unleashes the Dwarf in a cosmic proportion and who absorbs the power of the sun.Van now uses the shadow of the moon on the Earth to launch his own Transmutation circle. This returns the souls absorbed into Father back to the people of Central.
Then Scar activates the flip Transmutation circle to remove Father's excess powers.Mustang then rejoins the group without his eyes, and Riza (Misako Renbutsu), his trusted subordinate, helps him fight by being his eyes.
Greed got sucked into Father for his powers. However, he assisted Ling Yao in defeating Bradley, who is also Wrath. Bradley is eventually killed by Scar. Selim is killed by Ed.
One by one, all of the Homunculi lost their lives, and Father himself was forced to retreat back into his prison. However, Mustang does not regain his eyesight back and Riza offers to become his eyes until they find a way to get his eyesight back from Truth.
Van can sense that Father is reaching close to the limit of his powers.At almost the end of the battle between Father and Ed, Father has weakened considerably. However, Ed gets stuck to the wall with no way of fighting or escaping. Alphonse has no way of saving Ed due to Ed's metal hand being destroyed in the after-effect of Father's counter-attack.
Al, with the help of May's alchemy, sacrifices his soul and returns back to the empty shell of his body, waiting with Truth to save Ed. Ed regains his arm back, just in time to save himself and also to end the battle once and for all.Van offers to sacrifice himself to bring back Al, but Ed refuses and instead sacrifices his beloved Alchemy to bring back Al intact. Truth accepts the sacrifice, calling it worthy, and lets Ed take Al back to their realm. Ed is overjoyed to have his brother back, and the group celebrates their victory. The citizens gain back their lives, and the city returns to its glory. A budding romance begins between Winry and Ed.Van helps Ed and his group defeat the monster, Father, who had attained the power of God, and ultimately sends him back through the door in the portal of Truth where he belonged, putting an end to the decades of suffering that he had brought along.
The movie ends with Al returning to Ed and his friends after Ed's sacrifice and Van Hohenheim dying peacefully in front of his wife's grave.
