Synopsis:
The action in this new version of "Assault on Precinct 13" ignites in the present day, in an about-to-be closed police precinct building. During a snowy New Year's Eve, a most wanted mobster (Laurence Fishburne) is temporary incarcerated at the doomed Precinct 13 - and the address receives renewed, unwanted attention from all sides of the law. As the sun sets and a long night begins, a motley crew of policemen and prisoners, reluctantly captained by cop Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke), must band together to fight off a rogue gang that wants to extract the crime lord at any cost.
