The Heineken Kidnapping

Beer tycoon Fred Heineken was kidnapped at gunpoint in 1983 and held captive for three weeks. He was finally rescued after paying a ransom of about NT$600 million. However, the story is not over yet. After the most powerful butcher in the Netherlands was released, he immediately used various connections to bring the kidnapper to justice. A battle of wits and revenge was about to begin... Based on a sensational real event, the director centered the story on the contrast and confrontation between the kidnapper Rum, who was only 25 years old at the time, and the wealthy Heineken. On the one hand, through the horrific experience, the wealthy businessman understood his inner fragility and indifference, and then learned to cherish the things that seemed to be taken for granted in life; on the other hand, through the violent provocation of this young villain, it also showed the angry resistance of another group of deprived little people in society against the world. This is the work of Rutger Hauer, the most famous actor in the Netherlands, who returned to the film industry in his motherland after an absence of thirty years. It can be called another peak of his acting career.
