Synopsis
Hostages (2013) is an American thriller series you can watch online on iFILM. Surgeon Ellen Sanders is scheduled to operate on the President of the United States. The night before, FBI agent Duncan Carlisle storms her home and takes the whole family captive. His demand is brutally simple: the President must not survive the table.
Toni Collette plays a woman trapped between her oath as a doctor and the lives of her husband and children. Dylan McDermott is her captor — a man convinced he's doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, since the kidnapping is only the surface of a far larger political conspiracy. The deeper it goes, the harder it gets to tell who's a hostage and who's playing the game. Adapted from an Israeli original, the show runs as a single tight season of fifteen episodes with no padding.
This is a story where the small, contained premise beats spectacle: it lives on the nerves of two strong leads and the sense that nobody has a way out. If you like pressure-cooker dramas about ordinary people dragged into a bigger plot, give it a shot. Stream every episode of Hostages (2013) online on iFILM.
