The movie follow several stories of people who struggle in Los Angeles in a post-9/11 world. A Persian family (Shaun Toub and Bahar Soomekh) struggles to keep their family store, a Hispanic locksmith (Michael Peña) tries to keep in his daughter happy and safe, a lawyer and his wife (Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock) cope with being robbed, a Hollywood director and his wife (Terrence Howard and Thandie Newton) deal with a misogynistic cop (Matt Dillon) who sexually assaults the wife, the misogynistic cop's partner (Ryan Philippe) struggles to trade partners, the misogynistic cop fights with a black health associate (Loretta Devine) to help with his father's pancreatic cancer, and a detective (Don Cheadle) struggles with his estranged mother (Beverly Todd) and criminal brother (Larenz Tate), who robs the lawyer (Fraser) alongside his gang associate (Ludacris).
The stories occur a 36-hour period displaying how we "crash" into each other's world. We learned to not judge people by their appearances. Sandra Bullock's character, traumatized by the carjack, asks her husband to change the locks immediately after Michael Peña's character changed them thinking he would come back with a copy and rob her house. She is also skeptic against her Hispanic maid. But then she later tripped and fell down stairs. Her maid was the only other person in the house, and she took care of her until Brendan Fraser's character came home.
I highly recommend this film, but warning, this is a heavy film.
