Held Hostage

Hal Foxton Beckett was nominated for a Leo Award for the music featured in the movie.

Michelle Ramskill-Estey (Julie Benz), a single mother, is kidnapped by three masked men and held hostage until she is forced to rob a bank which is the only option she has to save her only child's life while they are both wired to explode.

[1] In November 2000, Michelle Ramskill-Estey and her 7-year-old daughter Breea Ramskill returned to their Needles, California home, only to find 4 men, armed with guns.

They strapped fake bombs to the two and ordered Ramskill-Estey to drive to a Bank of America location, where she worked, and give them the $360,000 in the vault.

The case was reconstructed for an episode of the Japanese television show World Extreme Mystery, which aired in 2019.
