David Oyelowo and Kate Mara are getting their dramatic acting on in the trailer for “Captive.” The film, based on a true story, finds Oyelowo and Mara’s characters on a journey through spiritual guidance and purpose. The fascinating part is the journey starts from an unlikely – and very scary – event.

“CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is the dramatic, thrilling, and spiritual journey of Ashley Smith and Brian Nichols. After being taken hostage by Brian in her own apartment, Ashley turns to Rick Warren’s inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life, for guidance. In reading from the book, Ashley not only finds purpose in her own life, but helps Brian find a more peaceful resolution to a harrowing situation.”

The trailer has gone live on iTunes Trailers and the poster has also been released. Check out both below the post!
