Proof Of Life

"A top-drawer adventure thriller with superb performances." -Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV/ New York

Alice Bowman is world-traveled and savvy but nothing could prepare her for this. Rebels in a politically volatile Latin American country have kidnapped her husband for ransom. The asking price: million.

Meg Ryan plays Alice and Russell Crowe is Terry Thorne, the hostage retrieval expert who becomes Alice´s only hope in navigating a high-stakes game where terrorists value money over life, in this suspense-packed film named one of the year´s 10-best films by Time. Taylor Hackford directs, steadily tightening the emotional vise as Terry and Alice try to smoke out the perpetrators and rescue Alice´s husband (David Morse) and as both confront the gnawing awareness that they´re attracted to each other. Taut, thought-provoking and terrific, Proof Of Life is gripping proof that the romantic thriller is forcefully alive.
