About

Synopsis

Ransom (2017) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Eric Beaumont negotiates in rooms where one wrong word gets a hostage killed.

Beaumont (Luke Roberts) carries no gun — talk is his whole arsenal. His small team flies anywhere a kidnapping unfolds: an analyst, a seasoned negotiator, a sharp new recruit. Every episode is a fresh case, a fresh captor, a fresh clock running down. The aim never changes — bring everyone out alive without firing a shot.

The show draws on the career of real crisis negotiator Laurent Combalbert and was built as a Canada-France-Germany-US co-production, which is why the cases span the globe. Its case-of-the-week rhythm keeps things brisk and light on long arcs. One for viewers who prefer brains over firefights. Stream every episode of Ransom online on iFILM.
