Seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Central Intelligence Agency to be near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they share a cab with a stranger named Peter, and Amanda lets it slip that they are alone in Paris. Using this information an Albanian gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. Kim barely has time to call her father and give him information. Her father gets to speak briefly to one of the kidnappers and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck," so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend .

Movie Parental Guide

nudity 8/10 The movie is about a man's daughter being kidnapped and being sold into sex slavery. Throughout the movie you will hear about and see prostitutes. Some scenes are VERY uncomfortable. A man walks through an area where curtains are strung up creating rooms where young women lie in cots (most are unconscious from drugs) and men have sex with them (not shown on screen but implied); we see a man in a room with one young woman kissing the back of her neck. A man talks to a woman, asking how much she charges and what the fee includes (she is a prostitute). There is a scene when young women have to dance naked for money. Many young women are dressed in little more than bikini underwear throughout the movie. There is a scene whereby Liam Neeson's daughter and one other prostitute is being auctioned on a boat wearing only her lingerie. Although above isn't much, the film is very sex heavy.
violence 10/10 A man is strapped into a chair, and a nail is then stabbed into each thigh. Liam Neeson then straps electrical cables to the nails and tortures the victim for information. Several jolts of electricity are sent through the cables and the man yells and twitches; the switch is flipped one last time and the man is left to die (we hear him screaming). A man shoots a innocent woman in the arm, she falls off her chair (we see a bit of blood on her shirt) and the man threatens to shoot her in the head. A man shoots another man in the leg and the arm and then shoots him dead (we see blood). A man shoots another man in the stomach, and then strikes him and the man falls to the floor motionless (we see blood). Men shoot at each other, and we see bullet holes opening in walls and furnishings. A man holds a knife to a young woman's throat, another man shoots him in the head and he falls back dead. A man is chained by the hands over a pipe, another man wraps a strap around his throat and begins to strangle him, but the pipe breaks striking one man in the head and spraying another man in the face with steam (we see his face becomes charred). A man jumps off a bridge and onto a moving boat below, he strangles a man on board, kicks and punches another one and throws him overboard. A man shoves a young man into a taxi, punches him repeatedly in the ribs, another man pulls the man out and he lands hard on the ground; they fight briefly and one man's head is slammed into the car knocking him unconscious. Two men fight with punches and kicks, one man pulls a knife, they continue fighting, one man strikes the other with a bottle and one man is stabbed and falls to the floor motionless. A man fights several men: he stabs several (there's blood on wounds and shirts) and then shoots several others (we hear groans and see them flinch, but there's no blood). A man fights with several men punching and kicking them, and shoots one man (he falls back and onto the ground), but he is shot at by several men as he speeds away in a car and there's a large explosion and fire. A man holds a gun on another man, pushes him into an elevator and punches him (he falls unconscious). A man in a car chases a young man through traffic, and the young man jumps from an overpass onto a truck below and then to the street where he is struck by a car (we see the body being struck and hear a thud). A man with a knife lunges at a woman, another man fights him off with punches and kicks and the man and woman drive away in a car. Cars with men shooting guns chase another man in another car: one car is pushed over a hill and rolls over and another car drives into a bulldozer shovel that cuts the top of the car off. A young woman hiding under a bed is pulled out by her feet by a man, and we hear her screaming and we hear glass breaking as she is taken away. Two men grab a young woman by the arms and legs and carry her out of an apartment (we hear her screaming and see her struggling). We see two young women being kidnapped by several men.
profanity 5/10 Shit, ass, bitch, damn, and hell are used frequently. Fuck is said once
alcohol 9/10 Many underage girls are drugged then raped. We see a young woman dead presumably from a drug overdose We see in two scenes people with scarred arms by injections. People drink alcohol at a party. A man holds a beer bottle. Another man drinks from a beer bottle. A woman pours three glasses of wine at a dinner table. Three men carrying beer arrive at another man's house. Several men sit at a table with beer bottles. A man puts a cigarette in his mouth but does not light it.
frightening 10/10 The entire film is quite intense. Possibly the most violent and intense PG-13 film ever. over all 42/50 18+
