Ransom! is a 1956 crime drama examining the reactions of parents, police, and the public to a kidnapping. Written by Richard Maibaum and Cyril Hume, the film was based on a popular episode of "The United States Steel Hour" titled "Fearful Decision," which aired in 1954, starred Ralph Bellamy.
Directed by stage and television veteran Alex Segal, the film starred Glenn Ford, Donna Reed, and Leslie Nielsen (in his first film role).
A loosely based remake starring Mel Gibson was made in 1996 by director Ron Howard. Its title was Ransom, minus the exclamation point.
Young Andy Stannard (Bobby Clark) is the son of Dave Stannard (Glenn Ford), a wealthy executive, and his wife Edith (Donna Reed). One day, Edith and Dave feel that each has miscommunicated with the other about the whereabouts of their son. The principal Mrs. Partridge (Mabel Albertson) of Andy's school telephones and informs Edith that Andy was picked up by a nurse and taken to Dr. Gorman's (Alexander Scourby) office for treatment of a viral infection. However, when Dave phones Dr. Gorman, he finds out that Andy has not been at his office at all that day. Realizing that their son has been kidnapped, the Stannards call the police.
Ransom is the practice of holding a prisoner or item to extort money or property to secure their release, or it may refer to the sum of money involved.
In an early German law, a similar concept was called weregild.
When ransom means "payment", the word comes via Old French rançon from Latin redemptio = "buying back": compare "redemption".
In Judaism ransom is called kofer-nefesh (Hebrew: כפר נפש). Among other uses, the word was applied to the poll tax of a half shekel to be paid by every male above twenty years at the census.
Julius Caesar was captured by pirates near the island of Pharmacusa, and held until someone paid 50 talents to free him.
In Europe during the Middle Ages, ransom became an important custom of chivalric warfare. An important knight, especially nobility or royalty, was worth a significant sum of money if captured, but nothing if he was killed. For this reason, the practice of ransom contributed to the development of heraldry, which allowed knights to advertise their identities, and by implication their ransom value, and made them less likely to be killed out of hand. Examples include Richard the Lion Heart and Bertrand du Guesclin.
Ransom is a 1974 film starring Sean Connery and Ian McShane and directed by Finnish director Caspar Wrede. The plot concerns a group of terrorists who try to extract a large sum of money from two governments.
The film was known as The Terrorists in some countries.
A small group of terrorists have seized the British ambassador to the fictitious country of "Scandinavia", and are holding him hostage in his residence. Scandinavia's head of security, Col. Nils Tahlvik (Sean Connery), wants to take an uncompromising position, but he is overruled by the governments of both Scandinavia and Britain, who insist that all of the terrorists' demands be met.
A passenger airplane arriving at the airport of Scandinavia's capital city is hijacked by another small group of (purported) terrorists, led by Ray Petrie (Ian McShane). The airplane ends up parked on an isolated taxiway, and Petrie demands that he be put in touch with Martin Shepherd (John Quentin), leader of the group holding the British ambassador hostage. Petrie, who is known by Shepherd, convinces Shepherd that his group and his hostages should leave on the hijacked airplane, not on a military plane as originally planned.

They said that the fire is gone but it never left
Hotter than a brimstone found deep in the devil's chest
No religion I hold the vision farther than heaven's steps
Hope you listen ain't no forgiven driven by every breath
My pops could've stuck around but instead he left
So he met his death fuck grievin I'm already stressed
Bring it to the calisthenics nice steady reps
I'm doin heavy sets drinkin on every rest
They say I'm very blessed, I think a different way
I sell a clip of yay and now ya got kicks today
I ain't got shit to say this is just a sick display
Street religion I give'em grab a clip and pray
I'm legendary and sharper than ten machetes
My vocals evoke spirits and wake up the cementaries
Where acres of men are buried, my hands on the eagles
And the only safeties I know they play in the secondary
You haters are never ready, my words' dope
Take 'em in vain they have you shakin like paces from epilepsy
I'm sayin you best respect me the last one of his kind
A street prophet you better pray that this vest protect me
Don't wait 'til the feds arrest me my life should be celebrated
Visons of midle-aged niggas sayin they never made it
The world's segregated the have and have-nots
Blast shots what you expect we ain't been educated
I'm mentally elevated I meant to be levetated
Those who oppose me is eventually devastated
I'm hated by many respected by all
Loved by the ones who told me I was destined to fall
Aggressive and raw I don't use discretion at all
Artistic violence all of my weapons can draw
From here to eternity my words'll be surgery
Mercif'ly the devil occurs to ever gave birth to me
The booth is my solitude this is church for me
You shouldn't even exist on the same earth as me
Send 'em straight to mercury for tryin to spit a verse at me
I'm perfectly chiseled from cast-iron
My verse is description from past iron
I worship the pistol and blast iron
Submersed in the issues of scag buyin
My vivid tells, a street horror, I leave scars
In the worst part of your brain that destroy you like pearl harbor
This boy is the world's author
Autobiographical scriptures, the first father
