Description
A stunning performance by Mel Gibson (Braveheart) adds to the heart pounding intensity of 'Ransom'.
It's a parent's worst nightmare for business tycoon Tom Mullen (Gibson) as he gazes at a picture of his kidnapped son helplessly bound and gagged. To get his boy back, Mullen and his wife (Rene Russo - The Thomas Crown Affair) agree to deliver a multi-million dollar ransom to the kidnappers.
But after the exchange erupts in a hail of gunfire, Mullen takes one final risk to ensure his child's safety and goes on national television with a shocking proposal. It's a gamble that could cost him his marriage, as well as the life of his son!
Acclaimed director Ron Howard (Apollo 13, How The Grinch Stole Christmas) delivers one surprising plot twist after another in a riveting and pulsating thriller.
Plot Synopsis
A headstrong airline tycoon pays the ransom for his abducted son, despite the pleas of his wife and FBI agents, then must gamble on the consequences of attempting to turn the tables on the kidnapper, setting up a gut-wrenching confrontation between the anguished father and the increasingly desperate criminals. This tightly conceived nail-biter, with head-spinning plot twists, is another fine effort from the director of Apollo 13.
