Про цей фільм

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.

Movie based on real people and situation. Praying women see it before taking their kids overseas. Love Sally Field also. Can not think of 1 movie she was in that I didn't love!

This movie reinforces how wonderful America is and how freedom is a beautiful thing. The end, when she sees that American flag waving between the trees, gives me goosebumps. i always feel so proud and grateful that iam American.

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!!!
