About THE TAKEN
In “The Taken” when a family outing turns into a nightmare as his loved ones are abducted before his eyes, Adrian, a devoted husband and father, embarks on a relentless mission to rescue them. Fueled by desperation and determination, Adrian channels the courage of action movie heroes as he battles through a series of intense fight scenes inspired by iconic action films of the past. From gritty hand-to-hand combat to adrenaline-pumping car chases, Adrian’s unwavering resolve is put to the ultimate test. Will Adrian’s determination be enough to overcome the odds and reunite with his loved ones, or will he be forced to confront the harsh realities of his mission? “The Taken” is a pulse-pounding short film that explores the lengths a father will go to protect his family in the face of adversity.
Directed by Myla Tissandier, THE TAKEN leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Lewis Armstrong, Aiden Denehie, Rocco Jann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2024.
