Jane Doe (2001 film)

Jane Doe is a 2001 American made-for-television action thriller film starring Teri Hatcher and Rob Lowe directed and written by Kevin Elders.

Elders had written the script seven years before its release; according to Hatcher, studios were reluctant to pick it up because the lead character was a woman.

The filmmakers planned to release Jane Doe abroad in theaters in addition to its USA network premiere[1] Jane Doe (Hatcher) is the real name of arms manufacturer Cy-Kor's recently fired security password employee with top clearance, whose teenage son Michael (Trevor Blumas) is kidnapped.

She obeys the bizarre instructions, including getting and learning to use a gun and downloading a secret file (after which her work post starts totally deleting), dumping both in a dumpster and waiting nearby, only to witness the company's CEO Churnings being shot by a sniper using an identical weapon.
