Sean Connery gives another powerful and charismatic performance as a
Scandinavian security chief battling to thwart the deadly plans of a terrorist
leader, played by Ian McShane. Beautifully photographed by double Oscar-winning
Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist and complemented by Jerry Goldsmith's
memorably haunting score, Ransom takes us through a tightly plotted, relentless
race against time. Presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film
elements, this intelligent, atmospheric thriller has never looked better.
Following a series of bomb attacks in London, a group of terrorists seize

the capital's airport, announcing that the passengers will not be freed until
their demands are met.
Colonel Nils Tahlvik, Scandinavia's resourceful and ruthless head of security,
seeks to take an uncompromising stance against the terrorists – yet his attempts
meet resistance from unknown forces at every turn...
