Rutger Hauer Gets Taken for a Ride in First Trailer for 'The Heineken Kidnapping'

'Hobo With a Shotgun' star Rutger Hauer returns to his Dutch roots for 'The Heineken Kidnapping,' based on the actual abduction of the heir to the famous brewery.

In 1983, Alfred Heineken and his driver were kidnapped and held captive for three weeks. The film not only tells the story of the kidnapping, but of Heineken's revenge, as he pursues his three kidnappers around the world.
