Ransom

“Hijackers. Kidnappers. Killers. Only one man can stop them.”

Colonel Nils Tahlvik (Sean Connery) runs security for Scandinavia and has no patience for negotiating with anyone who plants bombs. When terrorists seize the British ambassador in his own residence and a second group hijacks an airliner, Tahlvik wants to hold the line. Casper Wrede keeps the film tight and quick, cutting between the residence and the airport as the pressure builds.
