In the 2008 movie Taken, a father played by Liam Neeson is told by his friend he only has four days to find his daughter, who has just been kidnapped by an Albanian crime gang.
It’s the beginning of an unusually bad run of luck for Neeson, who in later movies in the franchise will be kidnapped himself, have his ex-wife kidnapped (twice) and then murdered, have his daughter kidnapped again, and his yet-to-be-born grandchild also kidnapped, though just the once.
