Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) is a lawyer whose life is turned upside down after a chance meeting with a friend. Robert has just been burdened with a videotape of a congressman's assassination. Hot on the tail of this tape is a ruthless group of National Security Agents commanded by a belligerently ambitious fed named Reynolds. Using surveillance from satellites, bugs and other sophisticated snooping devices, the NSA infiltrates every facet of Dean's existence, tracing each physical and digital footprint he leaves. Driven by acute paranoia, Dean enlists the help of a clandestine former NSA operative named Brill (Gene Hackman) and ENEMY OF THE STATE kicks into high-intensity hyper drive.
