A successful Washington, D.C. attorney, Robert Clayton Dean (Smith), unknowingly takes possession of evidence tying a top official to a political murder in Enemy Of The State. With lethal precision, a team of National Security agents target every aspect of Dean's life in order to discredit him and retreive the incriminating evidence.

Special features include a movie showcase, four deleted scenes, a 29-minute making-of featurette, the 13-minute All Access: The Showdown featurette, and the theatrical trailer.

Colors are well rendered in the 2.32:1 Blu-ray Disc picture, but details can be soft and source element artifacts are noticeable. Blacks are solid, and shadow delineation is good. (Danny Richelieu)

The uncompressed linear PCM 5.1-channel soundtrack features very good dynamic range and well-recorded and delivered dialogue. There can be clipping distortion in the loudest scenes, but this does not become too distracting. (Danny Richelieu)
