Synopsis

After decades of happy marriage and a life surrounded by luxury and wealth, Wayne Hayes (Robert Redford), a successful car-rental businessman and his loving wife Eileen (Dame Helen Mirren), are looking forward to a tranquil and comfortable retirement.

However, the dreams of a peaceful life come tumbling down like a house of cards when at gunpoint Arnold Mack (Willem Dafoe), a disgruntled former employee, abducts Wayne in broad daylight right in front of his mansion in Pittsburgh.

Suddenly, the fate of the accomplished entrepreneur and seasoned negotiator rests entirely in the hands of his nervous yet ruthless kidnapper, who has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

This is Wayne's most important negotiation in his life, but has he the strength to succeed?
