About this product

Product Information

Around the world, between 20,000 and 50,000 people are kidnapped each year. In Taylor Hackford's suspense-filled adventure film, American businessman Peter Bowman (David Morse) is traveling in a Latin American country when a group of criminals take him as their hostage and hold him for ransom. The megacorporation he works for sends in an expert hostage negotiator, Terry Thorne (Russell Crowe), to settle on a ransom with the kidnappers, an antigovernment faction. Thorne earns the reluctant trust of Bowman's wife, Alice (Meg Ryan), and begins trying to win Bowman's freedom, but conflict with Bowman's employers, missteps with the kidnappers, and Thorne's growing attraction to Alice threaten to derail his efforts. Crowe and Ryan are excellent as thrown-together allies under pressure, and Morse's descent from collected businessman to desperate hostage anchors the film. Watch for former NYPD BLUE sensation David Caruso as Crowe's partner. PROOF OF LIFE is based on an article entitled "Adventures in the Ransom Trade," written by William Prochnau, which was published in the May 1998 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

Watch Russell Crowe.
If you are a Russell Crowe fan, lots of action…minus suit of armor…fun. Meg Ryan left a big hole in this one (personal opinion), but Van Morrison theme at the end put a bow on it. For the price, decent purchase.

Proof of Life (DVD, 2001)
This was a timely movie in 2001. American businessmen living in South America, and students or tourists vacationing in Mexico or Central America put themselves in constant peril. This region of the Western Hemisphere is all but controlled and run by rebel armies of kidnappers, drug cartels, and outlaw thugs. In this movie, engineer David Morse, who works for a subsidiary of an oil company is taken hostage by rebel soldiers. They want $3M for his release. His company has just been sold, and there is no longer any kidnap insurance, and his family doesn't have any such money. Enter Russell Crowe. He is a professional kidnap hostage negotiator, but because there is no insurance coverage, his company recalls him. Morse's wife Alice (Meg Ryan), doesn't know which way to turn. She ...

His company has just been sold, and there is no longer any kidnap insurance, and his family doesn't have any such money. Enter Russell Crowe. He is a professional kidnap hostage negotiator, but because there is no insurance coverage, his company recalls him. Morse's wife Alice (Meg Ryan), doesn't know which way to turn. She hires another negotiator and is about to be ripped off. Russell Crowe, feeling guilty for leaving, returns just in time and takes over the negotiations. As all else fails, he gets a lead on who the kidnappers are, and with the escape of another hostage, are able to pinpoint Morse's location. Now, a rescue mission is launched and with precision, Morse and another hostage are recovered. This is a good movie and should be watched and taken seriously by anyone traveling into that region of the world. This film closely parallels the story of an Exxon executive who was taken hostage and held for years before being recovered.

One of those movies that should have done better at the box office, but for some reason didn't. An outstanding cast keep the story moving along without dragging out the periods between action sequences. Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan fit their roles perfectly and give excellent performances. The movie has a similar plot line as "The Body Guard". A love story with a sprinkling of Rambo would be the best way to describe the movie. The wife (Meg Ryan) having problems dealing with the loss of the child is torn part when the husband (David Morse) is kidnapped while living in a third world country. Enter a hostage retrieval expert (played by Crowe) who learns the company he works for no longer provides its services for the kidnap victims' employer. Crowes' character ...

Crowes' character decides to take on the case on his own and the wild ride to get Ryans' husband back begins. Crowe ends up falling in love with Ryan (of course) while trying to negotiate a deal for the return of her husband. After the cell mate of Morse escapes from the same captors, Ryans' husband is believed to have been killed during the escape attempt. A map made by Morse leads Crowe and a old friend to the camp where another kidnap victim is being held by the same militant group. The bullets fly as both men are returned after being snatched back by the rescuers.

A very believable thriller movie.
I saw Proof of Life year's ago. I really enjoyed it then. I enjoyed it again. It's a good story. You can feel for the characters. It's very believable, about being kidnapped in a foreign land for ransom. That's still happening now. It's well worth the money.

I learned a lot from this movie and enjoyed it tremendously. I saw situations I never knew about and the rationality (if any) behind it all. This is a country were regardless of what outsiders are doing (building bridges, missionaries, etc.)they can fall prey to kidnappers. How do you handle this in a foreign country--where do you go to get the enormous sums of money demanded--does you company have insurance for kidnapping? It makes you think--the acting is great and Meg Ryan was fabulous.I learned a lot from this movie and enjoyed it tremendously.
