American Hostage

WIBC News Director Fred Heckman gets the story of his career when a used car salesman, Tony Kiritsis, takes his mortgage broker, Dick Hall, hostage. When Tony calls Fred and demands to be interviewed, Fred must decide whether to air the potentially deadly radio interview live.

Fred has a groundbreaking on-air interview with Tony, only to find himself pulled further and further away from his role as news director.

When a report from WIBC sends Tony into a deadly spiral, Fred is forced to embrace the role of hostage negotiator to prolong Dick's life.
