"Taken 3," is the third installment of the "Taken" franchise. The lead actor is Liam Neeson, who plays Bryan Mills. The movie starts off with Brian and his ex-wife Lenore, played by Famke Janssen, attempting to begin a reconciliation. Lenore is currently in an unhappy marriage with Stuart St. John, played by Dougray Scott. Just moments into the film, Lenoir is murdered, and Brian is framed for her death. Brian immediately goes on the run, and the movie continues on, with Brian being hunted by detective Frank Dotzler, played by Forest Whitaker. Brian is on a mission to keep his daughter Kim mills, played by Maggie Grace, from also being harmed, and to find the real killers. Taken 3 is directed by Oliver Megaton, and produced by Luc Besson.

The original taken, which first aired in 2008, was based on Brian Mills just retiring from the CIA to form a relationship with his estranged daughter Kim. Kim goes on a trip to Paris with a friend, and ends up being kidnapped to later be sold for human trafficking. Brian then travels to Paris to search for his daughter. Throughout the movie, Brian ends up killing almost an entire Albanian gang, in order to save his daughter. In 2012, taken 2 was released. Taken 2 takes place in Istanbul, where Lenore and Brian are taken hostage, by a father of one of the kidnappers, Brian killed while rescuing his daughter in the first installment. This time, it is Kim that rescues Bryan, and Lenore. The actors seem to have lost their interest in the franchise.
