Rescuing Tatia (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a young Georgian schoolteacher from the attack, the two reporters agree to help reunite her with her family when she loses them in the chaos in exchange for serving as their interpreter. As the three attempt to escape to safety, they witness&#8211;and document&#8211;the devastation from the full-scale crossfire and cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians. <\/p>\n<p>They desperately attempt to broadcast the footage they&#8217;ve captured while under attack from the Russian soldiers and local mercenaries, but are met with resistance from American and international networks either shorthanded from covering the Beijing Olympics or simply fatigued by war news. The trio realizes their survival is paramount, so they can live to broadcast the truth.<\/p>\n<p>This vivid, heart-pounding film directed by acclaimed director Renny Harlin (<span style=\"font-style: italic\">Die Hard 2<\/span>, <span style=\"font-style: italic\">The Long Kiss Goodnight<\/span>, <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Cliffhanger<\/span>), <span style=\"font-style: italic\">5 Days of War<\/span> sheds light on the complicated politics and dangers involved with exposing the truth during times of war. <span style=\"font-style: italic\">5 Days of War<\/span> also features an international ensemble cast, including Heather Graham, Johnathon Schaech, Rade Sherbedgia, Mikko Nousiainen, Dean Cain with Andy Garcia and Val Kilmer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived at the Geek Compound.
