Firewall is a 2006 American action thriller film[4] directed by Richard Loncraine and written by Joe Forte.

It was initially titled The Wrong Element and was going to be directed by Mark Pellington, but he left production in August 2004 after the death of his wife.

Believing the incident is due to an identity theft, Jack entrusts a colleague Harry Romano to take care of the claim.

The next morning, Jack is instructed to transfer $10,000 each from the bank's 10,000 largest depositors – $100 million total – to Cox's offshore accounts.

In retaliation, Cox gives Jack's son Andy a cookie containing nut products, sending him into an anaphylactic shock.

Before leaving, Jack uses an employee's camera phone to take a picture of the account information on the screen.

He forces Jack to delete security data and surveillance tapes and use a virus to cripple the building's system into disarray.

Beth, held at gunpoint, leaves a message suggesting an affair on Harry's answering machine.

He calls Cox using Liam's phone and they arrange to free his family in exchange for returning the money.
