The Kingdom is a 2007 action thriller film directed by Peter Berg and starring Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, and Jennifer Garner.

Francis Manner, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Legal Attaché in Saudi Arabia, alerts his colleague, Special Agent Ronald Fleury, to the attacks before being killed by the second bomb.

The U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Damon Schmidt notifies Fleury and his team that they have been ordered to return to the United States.

While Sykes and Haytham watch the entrance to the complex, al-Ghazi, Fleury, and Mayes follow a blood trail and kill many gunmen inside.

As al-Ghazi and the team start to leave, Fleury notices a trail of blood leading to the back of the apartment, where a family lives.

Abu Hamza's teenage grandson walks out of the bedroom and shoots al-Ghazi in the neck, then points his gun at Mayes, prompting Fleury to kill him.

The high-speed driving scenes were filmed on Loop 202, which runs through Mesa and Gilbert, just prior to its opening for public use only a few miles from the ASU campus.

The SUV he was riding in collided with a John Deere Gator all-terrain vehicle driven by assistant property master Nick Papac.

According to Agence France-Presse, a source from the Kuwaiti information ministry said that “the screening of the film has been banned in Kuwait for many reasons, chiefly because it is a false depiction of facts.”[6] An official from the Bahraini information ministry cited the film’s purported non-conformity “with the censorship laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain” as one of the reasons for the ban.

The site's critical consensus reads, "While providing several top-notch action scenes, The Kingdom ultimately collapses under the weight of formula and muddled politics.

He also stated that "Just as Rambo offered the fantasy do-over of the aftermath of the Vietnam War, The Kingdom can be seen as a wishful revisionist scenario for the American response to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.

"[16] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three stars out of four, remarking "Fleury goes John Wayne on their ass.

"[17] Evan Williams of The Australian called it "an excellent thriller" and stated that it "may be the first Hollywood film to confront Saudi involvement in international terrorism."

He concludes that "The Kingdom perpetuates negative stereotypes for a quick buck and an adrenaline rush, at a time in the world where breeding such ignorance and prejudice has proven catastrophic."

He also took issue with what he perceived to be star Jamie Foxx's anti-Arab comments to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, despite being "treated 'like royalty' in the United Arab Emirates" during the shooting.
