The true story of the abduction of JP Getty's grandson and his famous refusal to pay the ransom money.
A story worthy of the saying "life beats the movie" exposed through the undeniable mastery of Ridley Scott as a storyteller. With a team of first-hand actors who amaze their audiences with their perfect performances, the director uses an alert rhythm - at exactly the right time - and slow rhythm - at exactly the right time - to effectively manipulate the tension and beats of the viewer's heart, maximizing the pleasing effect of watching, even if details of the real story are actually already known to him.
Recommendation: If you are not yet familiar with the details of the actual event, avoid Wikipedia until after watching the movie.
Although Christopher Plummer is brilliant in the role of Getty, it would have been interesting to see Kevin Spacey's version before he was replaced.
