ABOUT THE MOVIE

Washington, D.C. detective Dr. Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) travels to North Carolina to investigate the apparent kidnapping of his niece Naomi.

Cross knows he must apply his formidable investigative skills to search for her. But unlike his previous cases, this one is personal and there's no room for error. Upon arriving in Durham, Cross learns a special Task Force Officer is already operating and that Naomi isn't the only victim.

Cross receives only grudging cooperation from the local detectives who are wary of big city specialists and view Cross' investigation as unwelcome infringement. Aided by escaped kidnapee Kate McTiernan (Ashley Judd), Cross hunts down the kidnapper, who operates under the pseudonym "Casanova".
