Prominent Columbia University English and Comparative Literature professor Edward Said was well known in the United States for his tireless efforts to convey the plight of the Palestinian people, and in this film shot less than a year before his death resulting from incurable leukemia, the author of such books as {-Orientalism}, {-Culture and Imperialism}, and {-Power, Politics, and Culture} discusses with filmmakers his illness, his life, his education, and the continuing turmoil in Palestine. Diagnosed with the disease in 1991, Said struggled with his leukemia throughout the 1990s before refraining from interviews due to his increasingly fragile physical state. This interview was the one sole exception to his staunch "no interview" policy, and provides fascinating insight into the mind of the man who became Western society's most prominent spokesman for the Palestinian cause.

В 2032 году в крио-тюрьме после 35-летней заморозки пробуждается один из самых опасных преступников Саймон Феникс и решает взять приступом спокойный, свободный от всякого насилия Лос-Анджелес. Неспособные справиться с жестокими повадками 1990-х годов, свойственными Фениксу, официальные власти ищут полицейского тех лет, который смог бы одержать верх над преступником 90-х. Для этого они размораживают сержанта Джона Спартана, несправедливо осужденного на срок в крио-тюрьме за его последнюю схватку с Фениксом.
