Abby pawns her bracelet and Neil his watch to get the $300. Then he requires them to get $300 from nowhere in a part of the town where they don't have any friends. Tom asks them, how far will they go to save their child? He requires them to withdraw more than $100,000 from their bank, which Tom burns and throws along with their wallets into a river. They will have to submit to Ryan's challenges over the next 24-hour period. ![]() With time running out on their little girl, Neil and Abby realize their nightmare is just about to begin. What he wants is Neil and Abby's life, the life they have built over 10 years, to be systematically dismantled and destroyed, piece by piece. It soon becomes clear that Ryan's demands are all the more terrifying because he doesn't want their money. Over the next twenty-four hours they are at the mercy of a man who wants only one thing: that they do his bidding. In the blink of an eye, Neil and Abby's safe and secure existence is turned upside down. The kidnapper, Tom Ryan (Pierce Brosnan), an apparent sociopath, takes over their lives with the brutal efficiency of someone who has nothing to lose.

With their beautiful young daughter, Sophie, they are living the American dream. ©STX TOMORROW NEVER DIES, Pierce Brosnan, 1997, gun THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, Pierce Brosnan, 1999 DIE ANOTHER DAY, Pierce Brosnan on set, 2002, (c) MGM GOLDENEYE, Famke Janssen, Pierce Brosnan, Izabella Scorupco, 1995 THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, Pierce Brosnan, 1999, (c) United Artists DANTE'S PEAK, Pierce Brosnan, 1997.Chicago residents Neil Randall (Gerard Butler) and his wife, Abby Randall (Maria Bello) have the perfect life and a perfect marriage. ©Universal THE FOREIGNER, FROM LEFT, MICHAEL MCELHATTON, PIERCE BROSNAN, DAVID PEARSE, 2017.

Brosnan managed to subvert his suave image with an uproarious performance as a brash hit man in "The Matador" (2005), which not only helped heal his wounds of losing out on Bond, but also allowed him to demonstrate a wider range many before had thought he lacked. After three more blockbuster Bond films, "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002), Brosnan was unexpectedly cut lose by producers with little explanation. Once free of his contractual obligations, Brosnan made his first of four appearances as the debonair agent 007 in "Goldeneye" (1995), a high-octane adventure that revamped a franchise thought to be on its last legs. But strict contractual obligations for television actors prevented him from departing to take on the role many felt he was born to play. Almost immediately, there were calls in the media for Brosnan to assume the mantle of James Bond from the aging Roger Moore. Thanks to his casual charm and self-deprecating comedic chops, Irish-born actor Pierce Brosnan firmly established himself as a commanding presence with his first introduction to American audiences as the sophisticated, but often inept con man-turned-private investigator, "Remington Steele" (NBC, 1982-87). ![]()
