Many Hollywood movies have represented Islam and Muslims in the wrong way, such as only the terrorism issues are selected, a conflict or negative discourses are being highlights, how observations are framed unfairly, and how religious symbols are selected for bad representation.

The Muslim world gets a lot more attention from the world than it used to. Through this movie, the conflict and political issues were faced by the East were shown as is. The objective of this research is to find out how the Muslims and terrorisms act are represented in The Kingdom (2007). The theory that the researcher use to analyze this movie is the Representation theory by Stuart Hall and a Movie Theory by Amy Villarejo. The result of the research is that in The Kingdom (2007) Muslims are depicted as bad people in Western media after the 9/11 attacks. In this movie, Muslims in Saudi Arabia are represented through negative stereotypes such as dependent, notorious spenders, conservative, and ruthless Muslim terrorists. However, Peter Berg also represented the Muslims better in this movie, such as religious and good Muslims to the positive representative of Muslims where these points are critical but very rare to find in Hollywood movies.
