With Taken 4, Liam Neeson will play the tenacious former CIA agent Bryan Mills, marking the return of the Taken franchise. EuropaCorp’s release reaffirms that the most recent game will explore Mills’ backstory in greater detail while still offering the thrilling action that fans have grown accustomed to. The film, which is reimagining the franchise with a darker, more intimate plot, is directed by Pierre Morel, who also directed the 2008 original Taken.

Taken 4 begins with Bryan Mills retired from active operations and working quietly as a security consultant in Paris. However, his world is shattered when his estranged brother, David (played by Clive Owen), is kidnapped by a shadowy criminal organization with ties to Mills’ early CIA days. Unlike previous kidnappings, this one strikes a deeply personal chord, forcing Mills to confront secrets from his past.

This time, the stakes are higher, as Mills not only fights to save his brother but also grapples with his own guilt over their fractured relationship. The film promises intense action sequences across Europe, from the backstreets of Berlin to the snowy landscapes of the Swiss Alps, as Mills unravels a conspiracy that connects to his CIA career.
