Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Emily Hope (Alicia Silverstone), stages her own kidnapping, to get attention from her father. She puts herself into the trunk of her car, tapes her legs and mouth, handcuffs her hands and calls the police, so they can come "rescue" her. But then, unexpectedly, a car thief named Vincent Roche (Benicio Del Toro) steals the car, with her in it. Suddenly, Emily finds herself actually kidnapped, only the kidnapper doesn't know what to do with her.
Christopher Walken shows up as Emily's Uncle Ray, Jack Thompson as Emily's father, and Harry Connick Jr. as Greg, Vincent's car-stealing partner.
