The Arab anti-defamation leagues understandably had a field day with this one. Sally Field plays Betty Mahmoody, an American who marries an Iranian (Alfred Molina) and has a child. They go back to Iran for a visit and, to her horror, he tells her he's decided to stay there. If she wants to leave, she must leave her daughter behind. If she stays, Betty must live in a culture vastly different and, she believes, very dangerous. Part thriller, part culture clash, the film certainly takes advantage of Americans' perceptions of Iran after the unrest of the '70s and early '80s. Molina is truly despicable as the husband, while Field projects a lot of overheated anguish as Betty tries to figure out a way to escape the country with her daughter. Overheated, in fact, is the word for the whole melodrama. --Marshall Fine

Excellent Movie

This is a wonderful and truthful movie for all to see. Many Americans fall prey to these men from other countries and have children and they do the same exact thing. Lure you to their country and keep you captive there.

This is a real "eye opener" for all Americans!

"I want you to be a big girl"

Very brave, how a wife riske her life, to save her, and her daughter's Sally Field, once again plays a great part. I reccomend this movie to any Sally Field fan.

Culture clash, part misconception and part deception

The film's based on the real-life story of Betty Mahmoody, a woman who married an Iranian man and went home with her husband on what she believed was just a vacation only to find her husband has chosen for them to remain in Iran.

Sally Field does a very able job of playing the American wife who'd do anything for her husband but leave her own home and country for her husband's. Molina plays Moody, the husband who chose to keep his wife and child against her will. The story's part family drama and part thriller. Betty Mahmoody literally had no rights on her own and if she returned to the US, she was told she could not take her daughter with her. She fought the system and managed to win.
