Dem Amerikaner Jack Moore (Richard Gere) wird in China der bestialische Mord an einem Fotomodel angehängt. Brutale Gefängnisschergen versuchen ihn durch Folter zu einem Geständnis zu zwingen. Vor Gericht fordert die Anklage die Todesstrafe. Moores Schicksal scheint besiegelt. Durch einen Zufall gelingt es ihm, aus der Haft zu fliehen, doch aus der feindseligen chinesischen Hauptstadt gibt es praktisch kein Entkommen. (MGM Home Entertainment)

Englisch The People's Court of the People's Republic of China vs. Richard Gere. Alternately beaten, naked in solitary confinement, or parading in his still snow-white shirt with his lawyer outside his detention site, combined with the clacking of Thomas Newman's piano successfully stealing from itself, creates a feeling that the whole thing feels like an outside view, shot in the States and splashed with Perry Mason, on a system where the state stands above the individual (unless that individual is a significant member of the Communist Party). It’s unimaginable to film something similar in contemporary Hollywood. Only a poor fool would place criticism of the red above the rustling green. ()
