The story

Former Green Beret and retired CIA officer Bryan Mills attempts to build a closer relationship with his 17-year-old daughter, Kim, who lives with her mother, Lenore, and her wealthy step-father, Stuart.

At the airport, Bryan learns that Kim and Amanda are actually planning to follow U2 during their European tour.

Bryan tells the kidnappers that he will avoid pursuing them if they release Kim, but threatens them with death if they fail to comply.
