The 10 Best Movies About Hostages and Captives, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Hostage movies are so thrilling because they ask a difficult question: What would you do in that situation? A gunman enters a bank and suddenly your day is taking a totally different path than you expected. It's a scenario you never want to be caught in, and it's hard to know exactly how you'd react. Hostage situations are one-in-a-million events, which can make for some fascinating character studies in cinema. One could argue that when you become a hostage, your true self comes out. Here are my picks for the best movies about hostage scenarios where the crisis leads to depth, twists, and thrills." - whatnerd.com
