Alfred Henry "Freddy" Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), head of the Heineken International brewing company, was worth billions. When a group of opportunistic friends land on a simple 5-day get-rich-quick scheme, it involves kidnapping Mr. Heineken and collection a 60 million dollar payday. After months of planning and preparation for the kidnapping, they spring into action - perfectly catching and whisking away Heineken in Amsterdam and taking him to their secure, secret hideout. But here, things start to go wrong. Unable to get the ransom demands, the group discover that they are being toyed with by Heineken, as he plays them at their own game.

'Kidnapping Mr. Heineken' comes from Swedish director Daniel Alfredson ('The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest', 'The Girl Who Played with Fire') and screenwriter William Brookfield ('Milk'), based on the two books written by Dutch investigative journalist and crime reporter, Peter R. de Vries. Principle photography for the film began in Belgium in October 2013 under the working title 'Kidnapping Freddy Heineken'. The film is set for a theatrical release in the US on 6th March 2015, and continuing to open across the world through March 2015.
