Taken (2008)
Bryan Mills is retired CIA field Operative for the American government. His daughter Kim and Amanda have just travelled to Paris together for a fun holiday.
At the airport, a seemingly nice Parisian lad offers to pay for the taxi journey to where they will be staying. Kim phones her father once they arrive at the house, however, Amanda is abducted whilst this conversation takes place. Shortly thereafter, Kim is found and abducted as well. Bryan is able to deduce that his daughter’s capturer is none other than Albanian trafficker Marko Hoxha.
He immediately leaves for France, as he has four days to find this man before his daughter is lost for good. With Byran’s wits, he is able to track down Marko and convince him he is interested in buying a girl. He then tortures Marko for information on his daughter’s whereabouts.
Next he forces a sheikh named Raman to purchase his daughter in order to get to her and remove her from her from the trade. Several people, including the sheikh, are murdered in the process of getting her to safety.
