State of Siege (French title: État de Siège) is a 1972 French film directed by Costa Gavras and starred by Yves Montand and Renato Salvatori.
In Uruguay in the early 1970s, during the military dictatorship, an official of the US Agency for International Development (a group used as a front for training foreign police in counterinsurgency methods) played by Montand, is kidnapped by a group of urban guerrillas.
Using his interrogation as a backdrop, the film explores the often brutal consequences of the struggle between Uruguay's government and the leftist Tupamaro guerrillas.
The film was nominated to the Golden Globes as Best Foreign Language Film and won the UN Award at BAFTA Awards.
