Delbert Mann's adaptation of the R.L. Stevenson novel, set during the 18th century, sticks close to the text. David Balfour (Lawrence Douglas) is a recently orphaned young man from a tiny Highland village and the true heir to the title of Master of the Shaws. His uncle Ebenezer (Donald Pleasance) has designs on the title so hires Captain Hosean (Jack Hawkins) to dispose of his nephew. However, David is rescued by rebel Alan Breck (Michael Caine), who is fighting for Scotland's independence from the English; but after several escapades Alan realises that his fight is doomed, whereas David manages to foil his uncle's evil plans.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play.   Based on the novels by Robert Louis Stevenson and directed by Oscar-winning Delbert Mann, this epic, star-studded adventure sees Michael Caine in the role of a Jacobite rebel who befriends an orphan fleeing a life of slavery. A strong drama with a moving score from Roy Budd (and end theme sung by folk legend Mary Hopkin), Kidnapped co-stars Jack Hawkins, Donald Pleasence, Trevor Howard and Gordon Jackson, and is featured here in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. 1746: as defeated Jacobite rebels flee Government forces in the aftermath of the battle at Culloden, eighteen-year-old orphan David Balfour's attempt to claim his inheritance results in his incarceration on a slaver ship heading for the West Indies. Luckily for David the ship's captain runs afoul of Alan Breck, and both Breck and David make their bloody escape.     Actors: Michael Caine, Lawrence Douglas, Vivien Heilbron, Trevor Howard, Jack Hawkins Directors: Delbert Mann Format: PAL Language: English Region: Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe.
