How to Enter
All he wanted to do was go home and get a drink.
But at 8:02 a.m., hungover NYPD detective Jack Mosley (BRUCE
WILLIS) is assigned a seemingly simple task. Petty criminal
Eddie Bunker (MOS DEF) is set to testify before a grand jury
at 10:00 a.m. and needs to be taken from lock-up to the courthouse,
16 blocks away. It should take Jack 15 minutes to drop him off
at the courthouse and get home.
Broken down, out of shape, with a bad leg and a serious drinking
problem, Jack’s role on the force is simple – clock
in, clock out and stay out of trouble in between. He’s
in no mood to deal with a punk who’s been in and out of
jail for more than half his life. But beneath the punk in Eddie
lies a man committed to turning his life around and constantly
searching for “signs” that will lead him to a brighter
future. Jack knows better, though – people don’t
change. In Eddie he sees only a pathetic rat who was offered
a sweet deal... a rat he will be rid of soon enough.
When Jack shoves Eddie into the back of his car and pulls out
into the morning New York city rush hour, he doesn’t notice
the van looming behind them. His head throbbing, and Eddie’s
flair for conversation only making it worse, Jack stops off
at the local liquor store to pick up some breakfast. As Eddie
waits inside the locked car, fuming at getting stuck with Jack
as his escort, he’s suddenly faced with a much bigger
problem – a loaded gun pointed at his head. Jack emerges
just in time to prevent Eddie’s execution, killing one
assassin and narrowly escaping a second.
When Jack calls for backup, homicide detective Frank Nugent
(DAVID MORSE) and his team are first to arrive at the scene.
Eddie suddenly goes pale – one of the detectives on Nugent’s
team is the man he is supposed to testify against. In an instant,
Jack’s quickie trip downtown turns into the nightmare
of a lifetime: the criminals that want Eddie dead are actually
cops.
There’s a history between Jack and Nugent – a dark
history that Jack has been desperately trying to forget. And
as Nugent is quick to point out to his old friend, Eddie’s
testimony threatens to bring them all down. Nugent offers to
stage a mock hostage situation in which Eddie is killed and
Jack does what he does best – walk away.
But this time, Jack has been pushed too far and seizes his last
opportunity to do the right thing. A split second before Nugent’s
team can execute Eddie, Jack sets in motion a chain of events
that will irrevocably impact all of their lives.
Battling against time and the corrupt cops gaining on their
every move, Jack and Eddie fight their way to the courthouse
block by gut-wrenching block. These are Jack’s streets,
too – and he won’t go quietly. In Eddie, he finds
purpose, hope and the strength to do something he should have
done six years ago. And Eddie begins to see that all of the
“signs” he’s been following were meant to
lead him to Jack.
It’s the story of how two men change – and change
each other – during a tense 16 block struggle between
life and death.
