Bryan Mills, a former government operative, is trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter Kim. After reluctantly agreeing with his ex-wife to let Kim go to Paris on vacation with a friend, his worst nightmare comes true. While on the phone with his daughter shortly after she arrives in Paris, she and her friend are abducted by a gang of human traffickers. Working against the clock, Bryan relies on his extensive training and skills to track down the ruthless gang that abducted her and launch a one-man war to rescue his daughter.

One of the coldest lines of all time, other than that it was actually pretty good. This is just Liam Neeson being the most Liam Neeson. Most unbelievable part is that his daughter and her friend were going to travel all across Europe to see U2.
