Déjà Vu (stylised onscreen without accents) is a 2006 American science fiction action film starring Denzel Washington and directed by Tony Scott. The film co-stars Paula Patton, Jim Caviezel, Val Kilmer, Adam Goldberg and Bruce Greenwood. Déjà Vu involves ATF agent Douglas Carlin, who travels back in time in attempts to prevent a domestic terrorist attack that takes place in New Orleans and to save a woman with whom he falls in love, Claire Kuchever. Filming took place in New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina.

The film was premiered in New York City on November 20, 2006, and released widely in the United States and Canada two days later on November 24, 2006. It received mixed reviews from critics, and earning $64 million in the United States and $180 million worldwide. It was the 23rd most successful film worldwide for 2006. The film was nominated for five awards, and also won the Golden Reel Award.

On Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the ferry Sen. Alvin T. Stumpf is carrying hundreds of U.S. Navy sailors and their families across the Mississippi River from their base to the city. Suddenly, the ferry explodes and sinks, killing 543 passengers and crew members. Special Agent Douglas Carlin (Denzel Washington) from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) is sent to investigate and discovers evidence of a bomb planted by a domestic terrorist. Arriving at the scene he hears his unique ring tone coming from a nearby body bag. He then meets with local investigators and FBI Special Agent Paul Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer), and informs them of his findings. He learns about a charred body pulled from the river, identified as Claire Kuchever (Paula Patton). Unlike the other bodies from the ferry, though, this one was killed before the explosion.
