Michael Mason| a pick-pocket living in Paris steals a bag with a teddy bear in it. Not realizing the toy contains a timed bomb| he tosses it aside on a busy street.
A few seconds later it explodes| killing four people. CCTV footage reveals Masons face and the French police tag him as a terrorist threat. The explosion| although
botched| was set up by a select group of the French Interior Ministry as a decoy so they can make a half billion dollar digital transfer from a bank| (closed on
French National Day) -hence the title Bastille Day. In a separate CIA investigation the unruly agent Sean Briar| discovers the real story behind Masons "terrorist
attack". The two men| on different sides of the law| collaborate to bring the corrupt members of the Ministry down.
Bastille Day proves Idris Elba is an action hero in waiting -- specifically, waiting for a script that deserves his talents.
