In Captive, Brian Nichols is in prison awaiting trial for a
rape charge. He decides to escape from prison. He shoots and kills an officer,
an agent, court reporter, and the judge overseeing his case. He recently found
out that he has a newborn son and he is in search of tracking him down. He
arrives at Ashley Smith’s apartment and he is able to capture her. He holds her
hostage and ties her up. She is able to influence Brian Nichols and she reads the
Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren to him. The film also shows the backstory of
willowed, Ashley Smith and her struggle with drugs and losing custody of her
daughter.
I live North of Atlanta and I remember the events
surrounding the story of Brian Nichols and how he escape and killed four people
and was on the loose from the police. I recall everyone being concerned about dangerous
he was. I read the book a couple of months ago and I felt like the movie helped
to bring the scenes even more to life. At times, I could feel how petrified
Ashley felt in not knowing if she would get to see her daughter again. I loved
watching this movie and I liked how it contained such a strong message about
living in your God given purpose. I also liked how it showed the importance of
breaking free from any addictions and strongholds you have in your life. If you’re
looking for a new movie to check out, then read this one!
About the movie:
Based on a miraculous story about the power of faith, Captive is

lost souls, Brian Nichols (Golden Globe Nominee David Oyelowo), on the run from

widowed mother Ashley Smith (Kata Mara) hostage in her own apartment.
Fearing for her life and desperately hoping to see her daughter

guidance. Ashley and her captor face a crossroads where they
discover hope and light in the midst of despair in the moving film that Dick
Rolfe, CEO, Dove Foundation hailed as "powerful."
