Collateral Damage is a 2002 American action film that tells the story of a Los Angeles firefighter, Gordon Brewer (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), who looks to avenge his son's and wife's deaths at the hands of a guerrilla commando, by traveling to Colombia and facing his family's killers.

Plot

The movie begins inside a burning building, where Gordon Brewer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) rescues a trapped woman. Later, Gordon and his wife Anne (Lindsay Frost) agree to meet and take their son, Matt (Ethan Dampf) to the doctor.

However, Gordon is running late. His wife and son are waiting for him in a plaza near the Colombian consulate. Claudio "the Wolf" Perrini (Cliff Curtis), disguised as a police officer, pulls up to the consulate in a motorcycle. Gordon arrives, sees his family and starts across the street to them when the bomb in the motorcycle explodes. Anne and Matt are killed in the blast along with seven other officials, and Gordon is injured when he steps into the road, stunned, and is immediately hit by a car.
