Sleeper Cell follows an undercover FBI agent and practicing Muslim, Darwyn Al-Sayeed (Michael Ealy, Barbershop, 2 Fast 2 Furious) as he infiltrates a sleeper cell of radical Islamic extremists lead by the sinister Farik (Oded Fehr, The Mummy, Resident Evil: Apocalypse). With a plot to detonate a chemical bomb in an LA stadium at the heart of the leeper cell’s aims, Darwyn must not only report back to his bosses at the FBI whilst keeping his cover secure, he must also get to the hart of a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of modern America, the White House itself.
Critically lauded when shown on FX, Sleeper Cell has been at the epicentre of a storm of controversy whilst also regularly being cited as “better than 24” for sheer thrills, tension and downright compulsiveness. Now, presented as a four-disc digipack (release September 18), including one disc dedicated to some fascinating extra features, Sleeper Cell promises to be the TV event of the year.
