English Summary:

Kidnapping Freddy Heineken (U.S. title Kidnapping Mr. Heineken) is a 2015 British-Dutch crime drama film directed by Daniel Alfredson based on the 1983 kidnapping of Freddy Heineken. The screenplay, based on the 1987 book by Peter R. de Vries, was written by William Brookfield. The role of Freddy Heineken is played by Anthony Hopkins, with Sam Worthington as Willem Holleeder, Jim Sturgess as Cor van Hout, Ryan Kwanten as Jan Boellaard, Thomas Cocquerel as Martin Erkamps and Mark van Eeuwen as Frans Meijer

The film takes place in 1983, primarily in Amsterdam and centres on a group of five Dutch friends: Willem Holleeder, Cor van Hout, Jan Boellard, Martin Erkamps and Frans Meijer. Looking for easy money, they decide to kidnap Heineken owner, the tycoon Freddy Heineken, in order to achieve a very high ransom. Although capturing Heineken and his driver Ab Doderer successfully, the group eventually faces difficulties due to their lack of experience in crime. They fail to negotiate with the police, and Cor feels it is his duty to take care of his pregnant wife, Sonja. After Heineken is finally released by the police, Willem and Cor flee to Paris, where they plan to remain hidden. However, Cor experiences strong emotions to phone call Sonja, a dangerous action that could easily reveal their location to the police tracing. He is initially reluctant and has arguments with Willem, but ultimately gives in to his feelings and calls Sonja, resulting in Cor and Willem being arrested by the French police while leaving their apartment. According to the final headline Freddy Heineken died in 2003 (he died in 2002).

German Summary:

Amsterdam 1983: Die Diebesbande um Cor Van Hout (Jim Sturgess) und Willem Holleeder (Sam Worthington) verdient nicht schlecht mit diversen Überfällen, aber den ganz großen Coup hat sie noch vor sich. Die Verbrecher planen die Entführung von Alfred "Freddy" Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), dem Erben und Vorstandsvorsitzenden des Brauerei-Imperiums Heineken, der so gerne in der Öffentlichkeit steht. Cor und Willem lauern dem Bier-Magnaten vor dessen Wohnung auf und zerren ihn in ihr Auto. Alles verläuft reibungslos, sie schaffen ihre Geisel in ein sicheres Versteck und fordern für deren Freilassung maßlose 35 Millionen Gulden (etwa über 15 Millionen Euro). Doch schon bald wird den Kidnappern das Lösegeld tatsächlich ausgehändigt und sie scheinen am Ziel ihrer Träume. In Wahrheit zieht sich das Netz um sie immer enger...
