- Synopsis:
The 1974 kidnapping and subsequent brainwashing of heiress Patricia Hearst is grippingly portrayed in this stylised, shocking, darkly funny thriller. In a riveting, phenomenal performance, acclaimed actress Natasha Richardson portrays an unformed woman who manages to discover who she is while being forced, under the most unimaginable of circumstances, to be who she is not. When a group calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army snatched 19 year old Patty Hearst from her apartment, they kept her in total darkness for six weeks, berating her and constantly threatening her with death. Her only strength being the social skills with which she's been raised, she uses her good manners to conform and, hopefully, survive. - Actors:
