Inspired by true events, this film takes place in Rwanda in the 1990s when more than a million Tutsis were killed in a genocide that went mostly unnoticed by the rest of the world. Hotel owner Paul Rusesabagina houses over a thousand refuges in his hotel in attempt to save their lives.
A single hotel lobby becomes the final thin line of defense against a country collapsing into genocidal madness. One man uses every ounce of his political influence and bribery to turn a luxury resort into a sanctuary for the hunted.
