In a desperate bid to escape his own lavish but loveless life, eccentric millionaire Malcolm King (Anthony Anderson) hatches a bizarre plan: have himself kidnapped to avoid a costly divorce from his gold-digging wife, Renee (Regina Hall). What begins as a foolproof scheme quickly spirals into chaotic comedy as a parade of would-be criminals, including his own disgruntled employees and a pair of bumbling security guards (Donald Faison and Loretta Devine), also plot to snatch him for the massive ransom. Directed by Jeff Byrd, this comedic caper finds Malcolm trapped in his own web of deceit, racing to figure out who is trying to kidnap him and for how much, all while questioning if his fortune is worth the price of his freedom. With a sharp ensemble cast bringing the farce to life, King's Ransom delivers a hilarious lesson on the true value of money and the unpredictable cost of greed.
