After the courthouse is hijacked by Black Caesar, brother of Sean Samuels, who has just been sentenced, Judge Jaeda King must rely on her strength and skills to find a way to end the standoff, save the hostages, and make her escape.

IDEA: An action movie poster that captures the clash of strong personalities. Captured using archetypes, theatrical poses, and pulp inspiration to tap into the essence of the film.
