End Game is a 2006 action thriller directed by Andy Cheng. It stars Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Secret Service agent Alex Thomas, who is shot in the hand while unsuccessfully trying to protect the President (played by Jack Scalia) from an assassin's bullet. Later, with the help of a persistent newspaper reporter named Kate Crawford (played by Angie Harmon), he uncovers a vast conspiracy behind what initially appeared to be a lone gunman. James Woods, Burt Reynolds and Anne Archer co-star in this direct to DVD film. Although set in Washington, D.C., End Game was actually filmed in Spokane as indicated by the end credits, and hinted at by the evergreen fir trees in the background in most outdoor scenes. The actual city of Washington, D.C. appears only in aerial shots. Part of End Game was filmed on the campus of Gonzaga University.
