Plot:

As a senior engineer of a large water conservancy company in the United States, Jack took the opportunity to work in a country in Southeast Asia. Their family was talking and laughing, and the old man sitting next to them interposed a few words from time to time. The TV and telephone in this hotel where they are staying are out of order. Jack went out to buy a newspaper and found armed policemen fighting with people with sticks in the street.

Jack fled back to the hotel with his face covered. After returning to his room, Jack told his wife that he had to go out at once. They ran all the way to the top floor. When they reached the roof, a helicopter flew by, followed by a cold gunshot. Jack and his family quickly hid under the sign.

Soon, the mob attacked him, and Jack persuaded his wife to jump on the opposite roof. Then Jack threw his two daughters on the opposite roof. The mob came and the tanks opened fire on the building. The surviving family decided to flee to the American embassy. They disguised themselves as thugs and rode a picked-up motorcycle to the embassy.
