Starring
Morgan Freeman, Monica Potter

In this thriller based on the novel by James Patterson, whose work also formed the basis of Kiss the Girls, Lee Tamahori (Once Were Warriors) directs Morgan Freeman as forensic psychologist Dr Alex Cross, who becomes involved in a special abduction case.

A brilliant but remorseless psychopath (Michael Wincott) lands a teaching position at an exclusive private school in Washington, D.C. where he abducts one of his students - Megan (Mika Boorem), whose father is a US senator.

The detective investigating the case (Dylan Baker), blames Jezzie Flannigan (Monica Potter), the Secret Service agent who mistakenly let Megan slip through her fingers. But when the kidnapper contacts Dr Cross, he seeks out Flannigan, who he believes might have a valuable insight into the case.
