Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jessica (played by Basinger), a high-school biology teacher, is taken from her home by five assailants to an unknown location. Not knowing anything about her abductors (one of whom is played by Statham), she puts together a broken telephone and manages to call a random number in an attempt to save herself.

Ryan (played by Evans), answers the call on his mobile phone, and begins searching all over Los Angeles to try to find Jessica, who informs him that the kidnappers are after her son and husband next. Ryan must ensure he stays on the line and nothing threatens or breaks his connection.

William H. Macy plays a detective, Mooney, whom Ryan encounters when he visits a police station at one point.
