An achingly sincere TV movie on the theme of child abduction, which starts out like a gritty social protest drama and then dwindles into a formulaic wish-fulfilment soap thriller. Toplining a couple of solidly uninspired players left stranded by the cancellations of their last series, this has Robert Urich (Vegas) as a computer tycoon who gets mixed up with Megan Gallagher (Hill Street Blues), a waitress whose child has been snatched in a slum.
After a few token moans about the awful problem, it trots out a series of predictable plot developments, as characters in a crisis confide in the one person who is obviously mixed up in the abduction racket and a benevolent character actor comes on for one establishing scene that might as well have a Surprise Mastermind of Evil Scheme sign flashing on his forehead. Inoffensive and professional, but hardly a hot rental.
