16 Great Movies About Being Taken Abroad To Watch Now:
We sometimes avoid talking about some things because they are too hard. One of those things is being taken away. That being said, hearing those stories is very interesting and gripping, whether the finish is cheerful or sad.
There are things like this that happen all the time, not just in movies. We ought to all be more aware of them. Abduction is a common way for crime movies to build their stories.
Kidnapping makes for great entertainment, which is why we see it so often on TV and movies. Its mix of action, thriller, and sometimes even humor makes it one of the most flexible types of books. The same story can be told in a lot of different ways, but the main idea stays the same.
Watching a kidnap movie is one of the most exciting types of movies, and streaming services such as Hulu have a lot of great ones for their users to choose from.

Abducted: The Mary Stauffer Story:
My name is Mary Stauffer and I teach high school. One of her old, obsessed students kidnaps her and her 8-year-old daughter and holds them captive for 53 days. This changes her life in a big way.
I wanted to start our list with a movie that not many people have seen. This is a true story that will shake you to your core. It was first called “53 Days: The Abduction of Mary Stauffer.”
This Lifetime original isn’t as new as some of the other movies on this list, but it’s a well-made movie that feels like the story was told correctly while still being kind to the victims.
Below Zero:

Amber’s Story:
A 9-year-old girl named Amber Hagerman was taken while she was riding her bike. When it happened, there was no system put in place to let everyone know about a kidnapping. The Amber Alert system has already saved a lot of kids’ lives.
‘Amber’s Story’ wasn’t a huge hit, but I thought it was interesting to learn about the story behind the Amber Alert that we use every day to help find kids who have been stolen or lost.
Room:
Room is about a man who takes a woman named Joy hostage as well as locks her within “Room.” Joy gave birth to a son called Jack while she was being taken away. Jack was kept in “Room” and never knew what was going on in the outside world.

Kara, a 15-year-old girl, was just doing her own thing when a man came up to her, placed a gun to her neck, and made her get into his car. Then he threatened Kara with death and took her to his room, where he sexually assaulted her.
But as quickly as he fell asleep, Kara bravely escaped, and not only that. She led the police back to the flat of her attacker, who turned out to be a serial killer who had killed more than one person before Kara.
Her flight would have made her likely the next target. The production quality of this younger Lifetime movie doesn’t really match up with how interesting and important Kara Robinson’s story is.
Still, I thought it was good enough to be upon this list, especially when I thought about how the story ended: if Kara hadn’t escaped, who knows how many other young women would have been hurt by her captor?
Prisoners:
Keller Dover, played by Hugh Jackman, is a father who is looking for his daughter and her best friend after they suddenly went missing on Thanksgiving.
The RV that was parked next to their house was the only sign he had. A suspect is found in the driver of the RV as the probe goes on. The cops can’t make an arrest, though, because they don’t have enough proof.

A mountain man who lives mostly off the grid takes Peggy, a 17-year-old girl. He was after a woman he would never let go of, so he grabbed her and held her hostage. The case led to the biggest search within the history of the US state of Pennsylvania.
Even though this is a TV movie, the story really scared me. I get chills when I think about a crazy man who lives in the woods stealing a woman during the day. We are always scared of monsters and wild animals, but people are always the scariest things in the world.
Misery:
There have been many movies about how obsessed fans are with their idols. Misery is a movie with this theme. Paul Sheldon was a well-known author. Many people really like one of his books with the main character being Misery Chastain.

3096 Tage:
In March 1998, Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped and taken away on her way to school. She was only ten years old at the time. Natascha was taken by someone who locked her in a basement for more than eight years before she was finally able to get out.
Because I remember the real-life case of Natascha Kampusch so well, this German movie really shocked me. Her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, took her when she was a little girl. By the time she fled, she was an adult woman of 18 years.
As horrible and unbelievably upsetting as what she went through must have been, it was just as scary to hear how hard it was for Natascha to get back into society after spending her teenage years locked up in a basement. The story is terrible, but the movie is great.
Taken:
Do you remember this conversation? In the movie Taken, Liam Neeson says these lines. This conversation is very well-known and is often used as joke material.
