Plot

The documentary-style thriller "Top Priority: The Terror Within" delves into the dark underbelly of national security and government corruption. The story centers around Julia Davis, a federal officer with the Department of Homeland Security, who uncovers a shocking breach related to the entry of 23 aliens from terrorist countries into the United States. At the heart of the scandal is Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, Robert Bonner, a former head of the DEA. Bonner's reputation is already tarnished due to his involvement in the NASA Challenger disaster, a catastrophic event that led to the deaths of seven astronauts in 1986. With his reputation hanging by a thread, Bonner is desperate to avoid any more media scrutiny, and his resolve leads him down a path of corruption and intimidation. When Julia Davis discovers the national security breach, she is met with a fierce backlash from Robert Bonner and his cohorts. Julia's investigation puts her and her family in the crosshairs of an all-powerful government machinery that will stop at nothing to silence her. As she digs deeper into the scandal, Julia's life becomes increasingly endangered, with four unexplained deaths and multiple attempts on her life. The government's retaliation against Julia is unprecedented, with the full might of the state being unleashed against her, her family, and the witnesses. The use of Blackhawk helicopters and airplanes for warrantless surveillance is a chilling example of the extent to which the government will go to silence its critics.

The film's portrayal of the Mafia's involvement in the scandal is equally unsettling.
