It’s every parent’s worst nightmare that their child will be abducted, never to be seen again. But what happens when it’s the other parent who does the kidnapping? Of all the women to choose to steal a child from, Kate Beckinsale might be one of the worst ideas ever. Have you seen her kick ass? Well, in the new thriller Stolen Girl she plays a mother who will not stop until she gets her daughter back from the ex-husband who took her away.
Stolen Girl stars Beckinsale and Scott Eastwood, and is based on real events. James Kent, who directed the excellent Testament of Youth, is behind the camera. Kas Graham and Rebecca Pollock wrote the screenplay.
Here’s the synopsis: Based on extraordinary real-life events, Stolen Girl follows a determined mother, Mara (Kate Beckinsale), whose world is shattered when her ex-husband, Karim, abducts their young daughter, Amina, and flees to the Middle East. Desperate to bring her child home, Mara teams up with Robeson (Scott Eastwood), an enigmatic ex-marine and child abduction specialist. Their mission takes them to Beirut, where they’re pulled into a treacherous web of international espionage, betrayal, and corruption. As time runs out, Mara faces the hardest choice of her life—reclaiming her daughter or leaving her behind for her own safety.
Vertical will release Stolen Girl in theaters on September 26th.
