Abstract

This essay examines Spike Lee's Inside Man in a post-9/11 context. Contrary to reviews that saw the film as apolitical entertainment, it argues that Lee, disguising his former didacticism as escapism, maintains a politically engaged approach to filmmaking in his depictions of ethno-racial tensions in a globalized United States.
