Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams, James Caan
PlotA witness protection specialist, working for the Federal Witness Protection Program, takes on the task of protecting a high-value witness. The witness, a woman, has uncovered a scheme involving the sale of advanced weapons technology to international terrorists, putting her life in immediate danger. The specialist is known for his ability to 'erase' the identities of witnesses, making them disappear so thoroughly that they can evade any threats against their lives. His methods are extreme but effective, and his latest assignment challenges him to employ all his skills and resources to protect the witness from a network of corruption that reaches higher than he could have anticipated.
As the specialist delves deeper into the case, he discovers a web of deceit and betrayal that extends into the very organization he works for. The realization that they are up against not just external threats but also internal treachery puts both the specialist and the witness in a precarious position. Trust becomes a scarce commodity as they navigate through dangerous situations, attempting to stay one step ahead of their pursuers. The intense situation pushes the specialist to question his loyalty, forcing him to make a choice between adhering to his duty or exposing the corruption that threatens to undermine everything he stands for. The stakes rise exponentially as they come closer to exposing the truth, leading to a high-octane situation that tests the limits of their ability to survive.

'Eraser' is a forgettable, standard Arnold film with mediocre Blu-ray release.
