WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Bryan Mills (Neeson), the former government operative with that famous particular set of skills, is shocked to find his ex-wife (Janssen) brutally murdered and even more so when he is framed for the crime. Going on the run, and avoiding the authorities in the form of Inspector Franck Dotzler (Whitaker), Mills attempts to find the real killers and exact justice while protecting the only thing left that matters to him – his daughter Kim (Grace)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Liam Neeson returns for the third and final time in the role that redefined his late career, and fans of the first two Taken films should be in for an explosive and action-packed farewell to a particular set of films.
