Mad City

John Travolta unintentionally triggers a serious hostage alert inside a failing museum attracting the media and public attention. Dustin Hoffman, news reporter, just happened to be in the museum at the time and ends up advising Travolta in his actions. The film starts off wonderfully, but wears down severely toward the end. Its unpredictable conclusion tries to be inspirational but fails.
