Trailer

Plot summary

Patricia Hearst, whose family owns a publishing empire, is abducted from her Berkeley apartment by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army and held blindfolded in a closet at a house the group uses as a hideout. Her captors break up her confinement with short lessons in what the group believes, and Cinque, who leads it, explains that she is being used to bargain for the release of two imprisoned comrades. When the state refuses that trade, the group demands instead that her family give seventy dollars to every poor person in California. With those talks collapsing, Cinque tells her that the War Council has to settle what becomes of her.
