Taken is a series of English-language French action-thriller films beginning with Taken in 2008. All three films feature Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills. A television series, set to serve as a prequel and starring Clive Standen as Bryan Mills, is set to premiere in February 2017.

A retired CIA operative named Bryan Mills crosses the globe to rescue his 17-year-old daughter after she is kidnapped by human traffickers and sold into sexual slavery while traveling in France.

Mafia boss and terrorist Murad, the father of Marko, whom Bryan had killed by electrocution, plans to capture Bryan, who is vacationing with his family in Istanbul, and avenge his son's death.

Bryan has been framed for the murder of his ex-wife, Lenore. He then sets out to clear his name by going after the real killers, while also eluding capture from U.S. authorities that he formerly worked for.

In September 2015, NBC ordered a prequel Taken television series depicting a young Bryan Mills. In February 2016, Vikings actor Clive Standen was announced to play the young Bryan Mills, with Alex Carey as the showrunner.
