Keywords: Thriller, Kidnapping

A wealthy business executive's son is kidnapped, and ransom of $500,000 is demanded. He gathers the ransom but then abruptly announces on television that instead of paying, it is now the price on the kidnapper's head -- surprising even his wife, played by Donna Reed. Good thriller based on a crime committed in the 1950s, better than the 1996 remake Ransom.
