Het zoontje van een luchtvaarttycoon wordt ontvoerd. Er van overtuigd dat de kidnappers sowieso niet van plan zijn z'n kind levend terug te bezorgen, weigert hij pertinent om het losgeld te betalen. Het blijk een gewaagde gok.

    Mel does some decent acting if not overacting in parts. Sinise is kind of a perfect bad guy. Hes so swarmy while still having a degree of actual menace but not enough menace that he feels unbeatable. He's a perfect beatable bad guy. Pretty sure he plays the exact same kind of character in Snake Eyes. Ive seen this a few times in my life and prob liked it less than ever this time around. Not that it’s bad. But you get me. Far as Ron Howard goes though it’s hard to say. Dude doesn't make bad movies just some don't pop as much as others. Some would say this does pop. This time around though I kinda feel it didn't, not spectacularly at least.

    This is Mel Gibsons best acting performance. “GIMME BACK MY SON!”

    This is one of Mel’s best performances, it gets you in the feels and it’s an awesome thriller. I think this is also Rene Russo’s best performance! Great flick!

    At first glance, Ransom and Home Alone seem worlds apart—one is a dark thriller, the other a family comedy. Yet, both center on the theme of family under threat and how ordinary people (or a child) respond to extraordinary danger.
