Seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Secret Service to be near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they share a cab with a stranger named Peter, and Amanda lets it slip that they are alone in Paris. Using this information an Albanese gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. Kim barely has time to call her father and give him information. Her father gets to speak briefly to one of the kidnappers and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck," so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend.

Doing this film propelled Famke Janssen to take action in the real fight against corruption. She now serves as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Office against Drugs and Crime.

Bryan:
I have a daughter who wants to be a singer. I was wondering if you have any tips for her.


Diva:
Yeah, I do. Tell her pick another career.

Revealing mistakes: When the girls are in the apartment in France, they turn the music up loud so they do not hear Kim's mobile phone ringing. When the camera pans over to her handbag, you can clearly hear the phone ringing, however the phone shows the "Silent" mode is selected.
