Abduction

 

I came across this picture in my files recently, and vaguely remembered the movie. Abduction was a fiction movie that was obviously inspired by the real life Patty Hearst kidnapping case that occurred back in the 1970s. To my knowledge this movie has never been released on video, with the exception of VHS videotape, the cover of which you see above. It was because of this cover that I sought out this film.

 

But, in the best tradition of B-Movies, it turns out that the movie poster didn't truly reflect what happened in the film itself. The publicity still of actress Judith-Marie Bergan (who's actually quite good in the movie) shows how she was actually tied, with her feet having been left free. Definitely a case where the poster was better than the film.
