An engineer working for a mining company is kidnapped by guerillas in South America. Thorne is sent in by the insurance company acting on behalf of the mining company; an expert in negotiating for the release of kidnapped westerners. However after optimistically calming the fears of the distressed Mrs Bowman and her sister-in-law, he is pulled out because of an unpaid 'insurance contract'.

Additional Information

Around the world, between 20,000 and 50,000 people are kidnapped each year. In Taylor Hackford's suspense-filled adventure film, American businessman Peter Bowman (David Morse) is traveling in a Latin American country when a group of criminals take him as their hostage and hold him for ransom. The megacorporation he works for sends in an expert hostage negotiator, Terry Thorne (Russell Crowe), to settle on a ransom with the kidnappers, an antigovernment faction. Thorne earns the reluctant trust of Bowman's wife, Alice (Meg Ryan), and begins trying to win Bowman's freedom, but conflict with Bowman's employers, missteps with the kidnappers, and Thorne's growing attraction to Alice threaten to derail his efforts. Crowe and Ryan are excellent as thrown-together allies under pressure, and Morse's descent from collected businessman to desperate hostage anchors the film. Watch for former NYPD BLUE sensation David Caruso as Crowe's partner. PROOF OF LIFE is based on an article entitled "Adventures in the Ransom Trade," written by William Prochnau, which was published in the May 1998 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

Good film, but nothing special!
This is a quality film don't get me wrong and would be good viewing for anyone, who hasn't previosly seen this movie. Saying that, its not a movie you would watch again, but thats down to your own opinion. Having viewed the film for the first time I was quite impressed and was attracted to it by the main characters, who to me are Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan. It is usually important to me when choosing a film to watch that I have heard of the actors, who star in it, unless I have heard some rave reviews from friends or colleagues. In this film Meg Ryans' husband is kidnapped and held to ransom by some sort of militant organisation. I am not sure what country it is in again, but I am pretty sure it is in South America and the government in the country concerned is pretty non-existent, it ...

It is usually important to me when choosing a film to watch that I have heard of the actors, who star in it, unless I have heard some rave reviews from friends or colleagues. In this film Meg Ryans' husband is kidnapped and held to ransom by some sort of militant organisation. I am not sure what country it is in again, but I am pretty sure it is in South America and the government in the country concerned is pretty non-existent, it has no real organisation and these militant group carry out these kidnap plots on a regular basis targeting the wealthiest people they can and then holding out for a ransom. Usually the only possible solution for the safe return of the kidnappee is to pay the ransom, but in this particular film Russell Crowe plays an intelligence officer, who decides to help the family out. It is a gripping and tense thriller, but don't expect too much from it and therefore you won't be disappointed. The title "Proof of Life" comes from the contact made with the militant group to ask them to provide a proof of life i.e the hostages voice, before any payment of a ransom will even be discussed. Well worth viewing although my rating of 3/5 is probably accurate!

Really good film
Good films are hard to find these days. Great films are beyond rare. Proof of Life, Russell Crowe's one-two punch of a deft kidnap and rescue thriller, is one of those rare gems. A taut drama laced with strong and subtle acting, an intelligent script, and masterful directing, together it delivers something virtually unheard of in the film industry these days, genuine motivation in a story that rings true. Proof of Life is a thinking man’s action movie. It is a film about the choices men and women make in the face of love and war, and the sacrifices one makes for those choices -- the sacrifices that help you sleep at night.Good films are hard to find these days.

Proof of Life
This film sort of slipped under the radar as the media was more interested in the relationship between the cast members i.e. Russel Crowe and Meg Ryan, but it is actually a decent film. It is a gritty and well acted drama about the kidnapping of Meg Ryans husband played by David Morse. Crowe plays the negotiator who has to arrange his release. The film has action (particularly the end) but a lot of character development, mainly between Ryan and Crowe who spend a lot of time together. But also for Morse as he is dragged through the jungle by his kidnappers and whilst Crowe is trying to facilitate his release Morse is working on his own escape. Its no oscar winner but well worth seeing.This film sort of slipped under the radar as the media was more interested in the relationship between the cast members i.e. Russel Crowe and Meg Ryan, but it is actually a decent film.
