Their ensuing struggle leaves the cop dead - and Bishop captured by the Organized Crime and Racketeering squad that Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) runs. Bishop is handcuffed and herded onto a prison bus with several criminals: junkie Beck (John Leguizamo) hustler Smiley (Jeffrey Ja Rule Atkins) and gang member Anna (Aisha Hinds). But the battering snowstorm stops the bus well short of its high-security destination and strands it at the remote Precinct 13 - where as night falls the prisoners are temporarily incarcerated.
