1157.0. "Ransom" by WMOIS::LYONS_S () Wed Aug 21 1996 18:01

    
    
    
    Stars Mel Gibson and Renee Russo.  Starts Nov. 8th.
    
    It looks very good.  Story is about a man who started from humble
    beginnings and then builds an airline empire.  His son is kidnapped and
    held for ransom.  He tries to go by the rules and get his son back but
    things get mixed up and then he turns the tables on the bad guy. 
    Instead of giving the Kidnapper the money, he goes on t.v. and offers
    the cash as a reward on the kidnapper's head.  
    
    The previews were fast paced and the story looks good. Anxious to see
    this one.

	This sounds like a remake of a movie from the 50's, possibly starring Glenn Ford or Hendy Fonda.
