Kings and Desperate Men

A family is held captive by a group of fanatical individuals, who coerce them into sharing their extremist ideology with the global community.

A radio talk-show host is taken hostage by terrorists on Christmas Eve, who demand a new trial for a wrongly convicted comrade. The host's wife and mentally challenged son are also taken hostage. The terrorists broadcast the trial, and the audience is asked to phone in their verdicts. As the trial unfolds, the characters' psyches are revealed through various voices, music, and imagery. The host must use his wit and charm to engage the audience while struggling to survive the tense situation.
