An American businessman, Peter Bowman (David Morse), is travelling in a Latin American country when a group of criminals take him as their hostage and hold him for ransom. His wife, Alice (Meg Ryan), is unable to come up with the money to pay off his captors and free him, so she brings in a hostage negotiator, Terry Thorne (Russell Crowe), to try to save her husband's life before it's too late...
A dramatic action-adventure film, 'Proof Of Life' is based on an article entitled "Adventures in the Ransom Trade", written by William Prochnau, that was published in the May 1998 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
