What is Rendition about? Toggle content

In this thought-provoking thriller, a seemingly routine flight from South Africa to Washington DC turns into a nightmare for Anwar El-Ibrahimi, an Egyptian-born chemical engineer living in Chicago. Anwar is detained by American officials amidst suspicions of being linked to a terrorist cell, and is subjected to brutal interrogation techniques at a secret facility. As his pregnant wife Isabella desperately searches for him, CIA analyst Douglas Freeman begins to question Anwar's guilt and the ethics of the extraordinary rendition program. With rich political undertones and heart-stopping tension, this movie explores the complexities of the war on terror and the human costs of suspicion and fear.
