Lifetime delivers a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller this Saturday with “Taken At A Basketball Game.” The film follows Wayne Edwards, played by D.B. Woodside, as he attempts to reconnect with his estranged 18-year-old daughter, Robyn (Claire Qute and Moni Ogunsuyi), at a basketball game. What should be a night of bonding turns into a nightmare when Robyn is kidnapped after a trip to the restroom.
Suddenly, Wayne finds himself in a desperate race against time, searching for his daughter in a stadium filled with thousands of people. The film, inspired by real events, captures the frantic energy of a parent’s worst fear realized.
Directed by Ruba Nadda, with a script by Gregory Small and Richard Blaney, “Taken At A Basketball Game” is more than just a suspenseful thriller; it’s a story about family, resilience, and the lengths a father will go to protect his child. The film’s executive producers include Arnie Zipursky, Dayna Zipursky, Fernando Szew, Hannah Pillemer, Keith Nietupski, Larry Grimaldi, and Suzanne Berger. Tune in to Lifetime this Saturday at 8:00 PM for a gripping story of abduction and a father’s unwavering determination.
