:For the DS9 episode, see "The Siege (DS9 episode)". The Siege is a 1998 film directed by Edward Zwick and starring Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis, Annette Bening, and Tony Shalhoub. The movie is about an FBI agent (Washington) trying to prevent several bus bombs from going off in New York City. When a terrorist sleeper cell succeeds in destroying one bus, the CIA steps in and takes charge. However terrorists strike again prompting the Pentagon to send in the Army led by a tough Major General (Willis) leading to an all out war between the three factions.

Trivia

An interesting coincidence or connection with reality is that the tagline for this movie was "On November 6th our freedom is history", November 6th can be written as 11-6 and if you turn that 180 degrees around you get 9-11. There are some parallels between what happened in the movie and what happened in America post 9/11.
