Ransom
An adventure thriller filmed in Norway with good photography by Sven Nykvist. When international terrorists seize a passenger plane in Oslo, diplomacy is held hostage. Their demands: the release of jailed cohorts in England. Their bait: the British ambassador held captive in the jet. Only one man stands in the hijackers' way--Scandinavian security expert Nils Tahlvik. He's determined to stop the British government from granting the terrorists' wishes. Tahlvik and his adversaries face off in a cat-and-mouse game amid such breathtaking sights as the Norwegian mountains and the wild blue yonder. Things turn personal as Tahlvik matches wits with Petrie, the leader of the desperadoes. Concerned for her husband's well-being, the ambassador's wife pleads with Tahlvik to hand over the ransom. But Tahlvik is too busy trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists--one of whom might be a British spy--to play into the hijackers' hands.

Customer Review
I had to check with the DVD cover because it was written that this film was made in 1997 but the look of the film appeared to be in the 70's tv movie format... read more »

Entertaining, but unimaginative and horribly dated.
RANSOM (1974) was released at an interesting point in Sean Connery's career. He had just stopped playing James Bond and was about to make some good films ... read more »

Not bad.......
For fans of 70's british movies (although it's set in Norway!) and fans of Mr. Connery. Great to see a 20 year old Lovejoy hamming it up.....
