Former CIA operative Bryan Mills, played by the formidable Liam Neeson, is trying to build a normal life with his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) and daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) after the traumatic events of their past. What begins as a family vacation in Istanbul swiftly descends into a relentless nightmare when the vengeful relatives of the men Bryan killed to rescue his daughter launch a calculated counter-strike. This time, it is Bryan and Lenore who are taken, forcing Kim to use the survival skills her father taught her in a desperate race against time. Directed by Olivier Megaton, this high-octane sequel plunges the audience back into a world of shadowy adversaries and claustrophobic urban chaos, as Bryan must once again unleash his "particular set of skills" to protect what remains of his family. The tension escalates through the ancient streets of a foreign city, delivering the intense action and relentless pace that fans of the franchise expect.
