Why watch this film?

With poetic license, director Ridley Scott ('Lost in Mars' and 'Gladiator') reconstructs one of the most peculiar cases of the 1970s: the kidnapping of J. Paul Getty's grandson, the richest man in the world at that time - and who decides to bargain with the extortion made by the kidnappers. The script, by David Scarpa (and based on John Pearson's book), manages to capture our attention, but the highlight is Christopher Plummer's great performance in the role of the miserly millionaire, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The curious thing is that Plummer was called in a hurry, already in post-production, to shoot his character's scenes in just ten days. Originally the role was Kevin Spacey's, who was replaced after being accused of sexual abuse.
