Storyline

[Spoilers ahead!] Jack, a man wrongly convicted of murder is sent to a prison where the unscrupulous warden has political aspirations. The warden manipulates his wife, his political adviser/lover, the prisoners and the voters, all while maintaining a smiling "I'm a great guy" facade. After noticing Jack's interest in his neglected wife Melanie, the warden puts Jack into a no-win situation in an attempt to make Jack do something Jack doesn't want to do. The result has Jack abducting Melanie, followed by the police across the state. Then Jack reveals to Melanie the reason why he abducted her.

Quotes

John Delaney: Melanie, I'm John Delaney; this is my partner, Stephanie Baker. We're the marshals assigned to your kidnapping.
Stephanie Baker: We're very happy you're safe and weren't seriously hurt. It doesn't always go down that way.
John Delaney: Rarely does. You're lucky we found you. If you'd stayed in his company a little longer, you would have been one hell of a liability.
Melanie Stone: He had a gun. H-he said he was gonna kill me.
John Delaney: [looks at Baker] I guess that's all we need for now. I think your husband's on his way. He'll take you home.

User Reviews

Based on True Oklahoma Story

Although the producers added their own twists to this story, it is based on the Oklahoma case of Randy Dial who allegedly kidnapped a prison warden's wife, Bobby Parker. The case may never be completely solved as many feel strongly that Bobby ran away with her supposed captor, and wasn't kidnapped. Dial and Parker played cat and mouse with the police until they were finally caught in Canter, Texas. Their case was profiled on America's Most Wanted for years until they were finally found. Dial died in 2007 of terminal health problems. Bobby Parker still maintains she was kidnapped and no formal charges have been filed.

This movie is exciting for a TV movie based loosely on real life.
