...deal (he built a major airline from scratch) confronting an equally smart and ruthless kidnapper (Gary Sinise) and his dangerously fractious gang. At stake: the life of Tom's cruelly abducted son. The ransom: $2 million. Tom's wife (Rene Russo), the FBI man in charge of the case (Delroy Lindo) and everybody else involved, with conventional wisdom at their command, recommend paying up. In 7 out of 10 cases, the G-man tells Tom, this leads to the child's return. These odds, however, are obviously less than certain. And after a couple of close, sadistic encounters with...

But his crisp, clever dialogue, enhanced by the enchanting performances of Tom Wright and Delroy Lindo, brings out all the poignancy of an enforced privacy for those vulnerable people whose life is, above all else, their very public...
...rainy afternoon in the tea room of Master Harold's mother. Harold (Charles Michael Wright), an odd, nervous white boy of about 16, comes home every day to the lounge and indulges in an afternoon's entertainment with the hired Black help, Sam (James Earl Jones) and Willie (Delroy Lindo). The trio share a wonderful relationship dating back to when Harold--Hallie as he's affectionately called--was a child...
