To Trap a Kidnapper

To Trap a Kidnapper (Japanese: 誘拐報道, Hepburn: Yûkai hôdô) is a 1982 Japanese film directed by Shunya Itō. It was written by Hirō Matsuda and draws inspiration from a real-life case of child abduction. Toei released the film on September 25, 1982, in Japan.

Hideyuki (Motoyoshi Wada) and Kaori (Kaori Takahashi) are classmates at a prestigious private school near Osaka. Kaori's father Kazuo (Kenichi Hagiwara) once owned a successful café, but was swindled out of his business by a shady loanshark, while Hideyuki's father Noboru (Fujita Okamoto) is a doctor with a stable career but secret debts. Kazuo, resentful of Noboru's seemingly perfect middle-class life, kidnaps Hideyuki in order to obtain ransom money. The police and press become involved as Kazuo comes to regret his decision.
