The Call
dir. Brad Anderson · 2013
In moments of crisis, the choices we make can define our sense of purpose and the impact we have on others' lives.
"The Call" plunges viewers into a high-stakes race against time, where the moral complexities of emergency response collide with the chilling reality of abduction. With its relentless pacing and claustrophobic tension, this film is a gripping exploration of responsibility and the human psyche under duress.
Jordan Turner is an experienced 911 operator but when she makes an error in judgment and a call ends badly, Jordan is rattled and unsure if she can continue. But when teenager Casey Welson is abducted in the back of a man's car and calls 911, Jordan is the one called upon to use all of her experience, insights and quick thinking to help Casey escape, and not just to save her, but to make sure the man is brought to justice.
