Trapped (2002)

.
"My name is Joe and I'm going to help you through this thing."

Physician and research scientist Will Jennings (Stuart Townsend), his wife Karen (Charlize Theron), and their young daughter Abby (Dakota Fanning) are an idyllic little family living an idyllic life in Portland. Right after Will leaves on a business trip, Abby is snatched from the safety of their home by professional kidnappers Joe (Kevin Bacon) and his cousin Marvin (Pruitt Taylor Vince). While Joe begins the negotiations for ransom with Karen, Joe's wife Cheryl (Courtney Love) is at the hotel where Will is staying and does the same with Will as Joe is doing with Karen.

But Abby has a medical condition that may be exacerbated by the stress she is under while being held captive. The Jennings are told to not get the police involved but can they work through this horrendous ordeal without outside help?
