However, after his partner Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner) disobeys orders and accidentally shoots a hostage while foiling a bank robbery, both of them are thrown off the team.Six months later, courtesy of the intervention of Sgt. Dan "Hondo" Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson), Street gets a second chance as part of Hondo's new, handpicked S.W.A.T. unit. But can the team complete its first major assignment, to deliver a French mob boss (Olivier Martinez) into federal custody, after said mob boss has offered $100 million to anyone who breaks him out?Also stars LL Cool J as Officer Deacon "Deke" Kay and Michelle Rodriguez as Officer Chris Sanchez. It received two Direct to Video sequels, SWAT Firefight, in 2011 and SWAT Under Siege, in 2017, for which none of the actors returned.

When the facial recognition software is being used to identify Alex Montel, ID photos of the movie's entire crew appear as the high speed shuffling of faces on the monitor. On DVD if you step through that sequence frame by frame you can see almost every member of the Film crew. All photos were taken by Dave Nico, the movie's assistant coordinator.

He gives an Infodump on it after Gus trips over it. Used later to deal with the "Polish hostage" after the guy claims he's got all the doors and windows wired with high explosives. Apparently he didn't think to wire the wall above his sofa. The claymore mine that Gamble leaves in the sewers as a trap for Hondo's team. The team avoids it thanks to Street spotting the tripwire, but later uses it to blast their way out of the sewers when Gamble tries to lock them in. During the busy second half, there's a brief, seemingly unrelated cutaway, of a wealthy couple boarding a private plane to L.A. with a new pilot standing in for their usual.; it's actually one of the men springing Montel who is hijacking the plane as a getaway later in the film.

S.W.A.T. (2003) / int_237404cc	comment	Ironic Echo: Gamble and Street are admonished for breaking order to foil the bank robbery, which resulted in a wounded hostage. Gamble argues they did "the right thing" by stepping in before someone got killed, only for Fuller to counter, "Sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing." During the climax, the SWAT team go to intercept Montel as the only team nearby. Street notes it'll probably be punishment to the gun cage for them for going over Chief Fuller's head to do so, only for Hondo to reply "You know how it is, Street; sometimes doing the right thing ain't doing the right thing." When Fuller begrudgingly allows Hondo his choice of SWAT members, it comes with the caveat that any slip-up will have Hondo and Street off the force completely, mockingly adding "You feel me?" When Fuller realizes during the climax that he fell for Montel's Decoy Convoy, unlike Hondo, Hondo snarks, "I don't think you're FEELING me on this one, Captain!"

Gamble's recklessness costs him and Street their places on the team, but unlike the by-the-book Captain Fuller, Hondo's approach includes the mentality that from time to time, a cop "may have to get a little dirty behind a street bust", and he's entirely willing to take action without authorization. At the same time, though, he emphasizes that "SWAT is a life-saving organization, not a life-taking one."

S.W.A.T. (2003) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Plays this straight more than other high-octane action films of its time: The reaction to Gamble's violation of orders and him accidentally shooting the hostage: the department is sued and he and his partner are reassigned from SWAT. When the opening operation goes awry, Jim Street is demoted rather than being fired from the force entirely. Montel is apprehended on a routine traffic stop of all things, where an ID check reveals his international fugitive status. One character even expresses surprise at this. When Montel hijacks a car in an escape attempt, he is immediately caught up in mid-day Los Angeles traffic and promptly crashes. When Gamble makes a getaway on a train, the officers catch up with it stopped and deserted down the line instead of turning into an obligatory Traintop Battle. Gamble wires some cars to explode to slow the SWAT team down, but it fails because he doesn't have line of sight on the explosives when he detonates them, which he does much too early. Montel tries to bribe the SWAT officers transporting him, pointing out that they risk their lives for subpar pay. Most laugh him off, mostly because they don't trust him and they could never spend it anyway, but one indeed does free him explicitly for that reason.

S.W.A.T. (2003) / int_440d1d0b	comment	Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Deconstructed with Gamble. In the opening scene of the movie, we see him as a respected SWAT officer who disobeys his superior's orders to save a hostage from certain death at the hands of a bank robber. It's the kind of stunt that's practically always depicted heroically in action movies — except Gamble screws up and accidentally shoots the hostage, causing a PR nightmare for the police department, getting him kicked off the SWAT team, destroying his friendship with Street, and ultimately leading to his quitting the force altogether and descent into crime and vigilantism. All of the other characters fully acknowledge that he did the right thing morally, but the disastrous consequences show what can happen in Real Life when such a stunt backfires.

A Deleted Scene has a couple of officers come rushing into a gun store and frantically ask if the proprietor has anything that can penetrate body armor. Then the SWAT Team shows up and kills the two robbers outside, reducing it to a hostage situation. After Alex Montel offers $100 million to free him, an L.A. gang attacks the police motorcade transporting a dummy standing in for Montel to federal prison, armed with submachine guns and rocket launchers.

Jim Street, who disagreed with disobeying orders but backed up his partner, is the actual hero of the film, while Gamble undergoes a Faceâ€“Heel Turn and is the primary villain.

Street and Chris are at Chris' daughter's birthday party, Boxer is at home watching television, Deke is at the grocery store with his kids, and T.J. is on a date at a high-end restaurant. Only one of these isn't a blue-collar activity that's regularly affordable on a cop's salary. Just to further drive the point home, TJ is the last to arrive when the team assembles to escort Montel into federal custody. It's later revealed he was running late because he tipped off Gamble.

And while Mormon dietary laws recommend consuming meat sparingly, they don't include any provisions that would forbid fast food more broadly.

The film adds two additional robbers inside the bank who take hostages, but uses radio clips from the real event. A deleted scene also has two patrol officers show up at a gun store looking for rifles that can penetrate body armor, which also happened during the historical shootout. The film also changes the fate of the gunmen (and indirectly the role of the SWAT team): in the film, the two are shot down by a pair of SWAT officers who sneak up on them, against their commander's orders (accidentally shooting a hostage in the process), while in the real event, one was shot in the hand, put his gun under his chin, fired, and then got shot in the spine by a regular LAPD officer, and the other was shot in the legs in the legs by a SWAT officer and bleed out while in custody.

And if that wasn't enough, the fact that he is willing to turn on, shoot, and possibly kill guys like Boxer and Street who he served on the force with makes it clear he's just a cutthroat who ultimately only cares about himself.

(2003) / int_d64c3cd4	comment	After an LAPD helicopter attempting to take Alex Montel to a federal prison is shot down, they make a second attempt with a motorcade, which is attacked by a group of heavily armed Gangbangers. One makes it all the way to one of the SUVs before discovering that there's only a dummy inside; Hondo and Street's SWAT Team snuck the real Montel out in unmarked cars with the motorcade as a diversion. Boxer comments that Hondo once used the same trick to move the President in a Noodle Incident.

S.W.A.T. (2003) / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Fuller throwing Gamble and Street off the SWAT unit, but not firing them, although he did need to be talked down into it by Velasquez. After all, police officers in big city police departments have to meet pretty tough criteria to even be considered for SWAT, and if accepted, they must undergo an extensive amount of extra training. Dumping someone from the force for a single (though highly visible and pretty severe) blunder is an incredible waste of resources. In addition, Street was doing the right thing, backing up his partner, and when Gamble (the one who actually shot the hostage) quits, Street's demotion/reassignment is much more palatable.

Jeremy Renner's Retroactive Recognition as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies assists in that regard, but more importantly, he's written and played like every maverick get-the-job-done-no-matter-what action hero you've seen... for the first ten minutes. (Though the movie posters kinda spoil the plot point.) The actual protagonist is his more cool-headed and professional partner Jim Street.invoked

S.W.A.T. (2003) / int_df4e55b9	comment	Pulled from Your Day Off: Provides the page quote. The day after the team passes the SWAT test, they get the day ostensibly off work. Hondo goes golfing with Lt. Velasquez, T.J. has a date, Boxer is sacked out in front of the TV (watching the original series), Deke is at the supermarket with his kids, and Street and Sanchez are at Sanchez's daughter's birthday party. However, they're still on call and end up getting paged to come in and deal with a "Polish hostage" who's randomly firing shotgun blasts out his front door. Note that this is not how the LAPD SWAT units work. The SWAT division in the LAPD Metro D-Platoon has 60 full-time officers who work on rotating shifts, thus removing the need to call in Hondo's team of six on their day off for a routine job and earn them overtime and recall to duty penalty pay rates. This break from reality is necessary to advance the plot.

Sanchez commenting about her desire to buy stocks in Kevlar is a real thing. DuPont, the manufacturer of Police Kevlar, gives stocks to Police officers who are shot in the line of duty, and saved by Kevlar. The program was initiated to get Police Officers to wear their issued armor, and has since been the source of many good Christmases for Police Officer families.note A: Because the stocks mature quickly enough to be cashed in time for Christmas, and B: Because their child gets to have their parent that Christmas. The film goes through great pains to avert Police Are Useless: through every action scene, the film shows the constant, accurate lines of communication between street officers and dispatchers, and the LAPD even bust the Big Bad international terrorist simply by going through all the channels of trying to verify his identification on a routine traffic stop.
