TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

True story, based on the kidnapping of Gerrit Jan Heijn, CEO of the Dutch Ahold Supermarket Holding. On September 9, 1987, Heijn was kidnapped and killed on the same day by Ferdi Elsas, an unemployed engineer. Elsas, however, demanded ransom money from the victim's family, thereby fuelling their hopes that Heijn was still alive for several weeks. The family paid the ransom, but Elsas did not respond to any of their subsequent pleas to return the victim safely. Elsas was arrested about seven months later when he was caught spending some of the ransom money; he admitted to the kidnapping and murder, and told the Police where the body was buried. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison. Released in 2001, he moved to a small town with his wife. On August 3, 2009, he was riding his bicycle and failed to give right of way to a digger, which ran him over, leading to his death on the same day.

Based on a true story of a kidnapping that occurred in The Netherlands.

During the fight scene in the woods, Willem Dafoe cracked a rib when Robert Redford's stunt double Dan Shea rammed into him, tackling him to the ground during the shooting.

First movie featuring Robert Redford to be screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

One of the numbers listed at the top of the ransom note is 814-949-9207, the fax number for Lakemont Park in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
