Overview
About the Film
Inside Man is a 2006 American crime thriller directed by Spike Lee. Denzel Washington stars as Detective Keith Frazier, a hostage negotiator called to a meticulously planned bank robbery at a Manhattan Trust branch where the robber Dalton Russell, played by Clive Owen, has sealed himself inside with dozens of hostages. Spike Lee crafted one of the most intelligent and entertaining heist films of the decade, a puzzle box that rewarded attention and defied expectations at every turn.
The film's structure — intercutting the siege with post-event police interviews — created a mystery within a mystery. Inside Man earned $184 million worldwide on a $45 million budget.
