The Siege (1998)
From Amazon:
A high-profile action/exploitation thriller set in the present, The Siege is really a fantasy that extrapolates from major terrorist attacks. Denzel Washington is FBI special agent Hubbard, "Hub" to his friends, whose anti-terrorist task force must track down the terrorist cells responsible for a spate of bombings in New York. His partner is an FBI agent of Arabian extraction (played convincingly by Tony Shalhoub), proving not all Arabs are bad guys--a point the film should be lauded for making again and again. Thrown into the mix is a CIA spy (played almost kittenish at times by Annette Bening), whose ties to the terrorists appear...

Like I said, 1998 was not a good year for Bruce. He won a Razzie for worst actor for this film, along with Mercury Rising and Armageddon. That should not mean that it is a total loss as it has Denzel Washington, Tony Shaloub and Annette Bening, in addition to Willis.
Of course, people find this movie much more believable...
