When a series of package bombs show up on the doorsteps of prominent politicians and businessmen in the summer of 1919, U.S. Bureau of Investigation Agent William Flynn (Strathairn) is assigned the task of finding those responsible. He becomes immersed in an investigation that uncovers an anarchist plot to destroy democracy. Inspired by true events of the 20s the film sets the stage for a timely thriller with resoundingly similar parallels to the contemporary war on terrorism and the role government plays to defeat it. 　　译文(2): 1919年夏天，当一系列包裹炸弹出现在著名政治家和商人的家门口时，美国调查局特工威廉 · 弗林(斯特拉瑟恩饰)被指派了一项任务，即找出那些应对此事负责的人。他全身心地投入到一项调查中，这项调查揭露了一个无政府主义者企图摧毁民主政体的阴谋。受20年代真实事件的启发，这部电影为一部适时的惊悚片搭建了舞台，与当代反恐战争以及政府为打败恐怖主义所扮演的角色有着惊人的相似之处。
