A fact-based thriller about a Michigan housewife, Betty Mahmoody (Sally Field), who has come to the Middle East with her young daughter (Sheila Rosenthal) and Iranian-born doctor husband (Alfred Molina). It's just a vacation, her husband promises. But soon the horrible truth surfaces. Betty's husband is a fanatically religious Islamic and doesn't intend to bring his family back to America...ever. Locked in the house, Betty pretends to embrace her husband's faith and persuades his family to allow her enough freedom to go to the market. There she meets an Iranian who is not totally possessed by his faith and who agrees to help her escape with her daughter. Based on a book by Betty Mahmoody and William Hoffer.

Excellent movie and what a story..Nobody can understand the pain and trauma Betty and her daughter must have went through. I see an idiotic comment about this movie being fiction.. stupidity of next level!!!

The reality of this movie is very sad because women still live like this today. Just because this was a true story didn't mean the movie was going to be good. But, Sally Field is such an amazing actress, she brought this movie to life.

One of the best real life stories made into movies out there. 5+ stars. Glad it's finally on Google Play.... But it has probably the worst Google synopsis ever and completely misleading.
