“Vantage Point” (2008) overview [ “Vantage Point” official poster ]
When a double of president of the United States is shot moments after stepping to the podium, chaos ensues. Terrorists attack the podium and the actual location of the President - who had earlier been moved to a safe location after his aides learn of a definite threat against the summit... “Vantage Point” is the story of eight people with eight different points of view each trying to piece together the truth. These eight people include Thomas Barnes (played by Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (played by Matthew Fox), Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (played by William Hurt) at an anti-terrorism summit in Salamanca, Spain. Barnes must uncover the truth while facing his memories of a previous assassination attempt as well as betrayal from within the security detail. Also involved are TV news producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver), relaying the historic event to millions of TV viewers across the world, and Howard Lewis (played by Forest Whitaker), an American tourist who thinks he’s captured the shooter on his camcorder while videotaping the event for his family back home. As they and others reveal their stories, the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Taglines: 8 Strangers. 8 Points of View. 1 Truth. If you think you've seen it all... Look again.
