Treat Williams stars in this true story, set in Saudi Arabia, as an engineer who becomes caught up in the country's harsh justice system. In the late 1970s, John McDonald takes his business out to Saudi Arabia, where natural resources are scarce and his expertise invaluable. But a lucrative deal between McDonald and an Arab businessman collapses and McDonald is kidnapped from his hotel room and thrown into jail. With his passport in the hands of an administration that refuses to acknowledge diplomatic niceties, will McDonald ever be a free man again?
