Set two years after Taken, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) gets a surprise visit from his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), while on a business trip in Istanbul, but the reunion quickly turns sour when Lenore is taken hostage by Murad Hoxha (Rade Šerbedžija), the father of a man Mills killed in Paris. With Lenore held hostage and Kim on the run, it’s up to Mills to rescue his family by any means necessary.

Bernard Besserglik of The Hollywood Reporter calls the film, “a high-octane mixture of violence and pursuit. The filmmakers know precisely what they are doing, and Taken 2 is in some ways a more polished product than its predecessor, taking full advantage of its exotic locations and pacing its action sequences more successfully.” HSX predicts that the film will open at just over $31M between its 3,000 locations.

As a bonus perk, if you navigate to the film’s Facebook page, you can test your skills to see if you have what it takes to survive being taken or play with the Bryan Mills meme generator.
