Black Dawn also known as Foreigner 2: Black Dawn is a 2005 straight-to-video action film, a directorial debut for cinematographer Alexander Gruszynski. It is a follow-up to the 2002 film The Foreigner, with Steven Seagal reprising his role as Johnathan Cold.
Plot summary
Johnathan "John" Cold (Steven Seagal) is an ex-CIA agent who's now working for himself and offering his services to the highest bidder. Jon is hired by James Donovan (John Pyper-Ferguson) to break his arms-dealing brother Michael (Julian Stone) out of prison.
After the successful break, in gratitude, the Donovans hire John to help sell the parts for a small nuclear bomb to Nicholi (Nicholas Davidoff), the leader of a Chechan terrorist group that is planning to blow up Los Angeles because the CIA killed the group's previous leader.
Meanwhile, John's former protege, agent Amanda Stuart (Tamara Davies), is spying on the Donovans for the CIA. The Donovans see her spying on them while they're in the middle of the deal with Nicholi.
John rescues Amanda and takes Michael hostage. Nicholi really doesn't care what happens to Michael, so that doesn't really work as well as it should have. John and Amanda find themselves on the run, trying to keep the Donovans out of the way and stop Nicholi from blowing up the city.
Also, John has been framed for the killings of some of his former CIA co-workers, so there's a shoot-on-sight directive on his head. It'll be a miracle if Jon can clear his name and keep Los Angeles from getting blown up.
Tagline: It's always darkest before dawn.
