The Clearing

Wayne Hayes (Robert Redford) is in his Lexus on his way to work when Arnold Mack (Willem Dafoe) kidnaps him. It all happens calmly with purposeful execution. Mack wants money, and will use Hayes as ransom to get it. The film then turns to Hayes' elegant wife (Helen Mirren) and well-bred family, who are saddled with a ransom negotiator and FBI surveillance, and are forced to face the tragedy.
