The Owl (film)

The Owl is a 1991 action genre television movie. The film was directed by an "Alan Smithee", and it was inspired by the 1984 novel of the same name [1] written by Bob Forward, who also wrote the screenplay. The film starred Adrian Paul, Patricia Charbonneau, Brian Thompson and Erika Flores.[2]

The film was only released in Sweden, on November 18, 1998, because no United States television network wanted the film.[2]

Plot

Alex L'Hiboux, a ruthless mercenary-cum-vigilante, is known as 'the Owl' because he never sleeps. His insomnia comes from a combination of a medical disorder and recurring nightmares of the murder of his wife and daughter. Alex is approached by Lisa, a young girl whose father is missing. She awakens painful memories of his own child, but after some persuasion from a policewoman friend, he agrees to help her.
