Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's primary narrative champions a determined and effective US counter-terrorism response to an attack, emphasizing national security and law enforcement competence, which aligns with right-leaning themes despite its nuanced portrayal of cultural complexities and a somber reflection on the cycle of violence.
The movie features visible diversity in its casting, including a Black actor in a lead role and a female in a prominent team position. However, the narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly critique them or center strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film carefully distinguishes between the extremist ideology of the terrorists and the devout, honorable faith of the Saudi police and citizens. It portrays moderate Muslims with respect and depth, aligning the narrative with their virtues and shared humanity in the fight against terrorism.
The film 'The Kingdom' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a counter-terrorism investigation in Saudi Arabia, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the plot or character arcs.
The film features Janet Mayes, an FBI agent, who participates in a climactic shootout. However, her combat engagements are exclusively with firearms. There are no scenes where she, or any other female character, defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.
