Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
Following a failed sting operation months prior, Detroit Police Department Sergeant Jake Roenick begins to regularly abuse alcohol and painkillers while clinging to his unambitious assignment as a desk sergeant at Precinct 13. On New Year’s Eve, Roenick, along with officers Kevin Capra, Jasper O’Shea, and secretary Iris Ferry are the only people on site, as most of the officers have either transferred or are taking time off for the holidays. Psychiatrist Alexandra Sabian also arrives to evaluate Roenick’s fitness for duty. Later, Capra, whose attempts to woo Iris are rebuffed, leaves after his shift ends.
Meanwhile, crime boss Marion Bishop is arrested after killing an undercover policeman in a church, and is set to be transferred to prison with three other criminals: Beck, Anna, and Smiley. When a snowstorm shuts down the roads, the prison transport is directed to Precinct 13. Though Roenick and O’Shea are hesitant, the storm gives them little option, and they place the prisoners in holding cells and let the deputies guarding them inside the precinct. Soon after, masked gunmen cut off the precinct’s communications and electricity, and attack the station, killing the deputies before demanding that Bishop be handed over to them.
