Mel Gibson stars for acclaimed director Ron Howard in this riveting tale
of a fiercely independent business tycoon who takes matters into his own
hands when his son is kidnapped.
Tom Mullen (GIBSON) is a wealthy corporate executive used to mediating tough
business deals, and doing things his own way. Along with his beautiful wife
Kate (RENE RUSSO) and son Sean (BRAWLEY NOLTE), Tom has all the material
trappings of success, including a Fifth Avenue penthouse, an enviable position
in New York society, and high media visibility. But when the thing he cherishes
most-his young son-is abducted by desperate criminals and held for ransom,
Tom's world of affluence and privilege comes crashing down. And after an
FBI rescue operation fails, he engineers a dangerous countermeasure in a
last chance effort to bring his boy back to safety.
With his son's life hanging precariously in the balance, and his wife terrified
by the shocking plan, Tom offers an appalling proposal, the response to
which could easily result in the loss of his son forever, in Touchstone
Pictures' gripping drama, "Ransom."
