Plot

After an explosion at an army base that kills several soldiers, President Jonathan Hayes (Gregory Harrison) attends a memorial service and is shot while speaking. It is revealed that a militia rebel group has resurfaced with a vengeance to assassinate President Jonathan Hayes for the death of their brothers. Agent Alex McGregor (Mariel Hemingway), now the Director of the United States Secret Service, tries to prevent the attack on the President's life, but when the President is shot and agent McGregor's husband Grant Coleman (Doug Savant), is kidnapped, the stakes are raised, and Alex realizes she has become a target as well.

Reception

Steven Oxman from Variety magazine wrote about the film: "Director Armand Mastroianni and his team’s most significant achievement in “First Shot” is to make sure we don’t associate any of this with reality. In other words, nobody’s concerned about who’s running the country when the president is unconscious — here, they’re all more concerned with thawing the cold war between the president’s daughter (Jenna Leigh Green) and his girlfriend (Wanda Cannon). Believe it or not, there’s something kind of appealing about the film’s ability to bury its head that deep in the sand."[2]

On Rotten Tomatoes, First Shot currently holds 40% of audience score.[3]
