Summary

After a wave of terrorist bombings strikes New York City following the covert abduction of an Islamic leader, an FBI counterterrorism agent and a CIA operative clash over how to track down the cells responsible. As the attacks escalate, the President declares martial law and a U.S. Army general occupies Brooklyn, rounding up Arab-American men and forcing the agents to confront the constitutional cost of the crackdown.

The Siege is a 1998 action and thriller film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 6 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 195 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 199 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
