Team One's moral is at an all time low when a lone terrorist bomber starts attacks the city, will it be up to Team One to save an entire city.

This is an action/drama packed series set in Toronto about the Canadian police, where the police are forced make tough decisions in extreme situations. Their greatest enemy are the rules of engagement in which they must follow, more often the rules and policies serve covering the asses of the higher-ups instead of protecting the innocent. And when the innocent gets killed, the police are the ones who have face the public and deal with the aftermath, often because of this the police officers themselves become traumatized and unstable.

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 mix are as good as they are going to be in the DVD format. Extras includes a final salute to Flashpoint, reflections from cast and crew, and Flashpoint: Last Day on Set.
