Hostage is a 2005 American action thriller drama film produced by and starring Bruce Willis and directed by Florent Emilio Siri. The film was based on a novel by Robert Crais, and was adapted for the screen by Doug Richardson.
The film earned mixed to negative reviews and was not a financial success on its original release, earning only slightly more than its production costs.
Former SWAT officer Jeff Talley is a hostage negotiator in Los Angeles. Talley is negotiating with a man who has taken his wife and son hostage after learning she has been cheating on him. Talley denies a SWAT commander's request to give snipers the green light to take out the suspect. There are three gunshots in the house. Talley runs through the barricaded door and finds the man and his wife dead. In the boy's room he finds the son, who passes away in Talley's arms. This leaves Talley emotionally scarred. He moves with his family to become police chief in Bristo Camino, a peaceful suburban hamlet in Ventura County, California.
Fuel is running, fuel is coming
Fuel is running
Down, down, down my face
The line, the line
The line is drawn in the sand
It won't be long
We have to be strong
Before they drop
The final bomb
Before they drop
The final bomb

We've got to make a stand
We've got to kill the man
Tonight is when we go
Tonight is when things blow
Full throttle ahead
I think we're already dead
The night is here, I feel clear
I don't feel my head
