This movie was apparently inspired by a true story but it was dramatized.
In April of 1967, a young boy named Kenny Young was abducted from his family's Beverly Hills, California mansion. His father was a prominent financial executive. Kenny's maternal grandfather founded the company. Kenny was held for a $250,000 ransom.
After several years of investigation, the culprit was discovered. He was an IRS agent. He had an ex-con as an accomplice.
The movie dramatizes the Kenny Young kidnapping. It also pads the story a bit by having a second kidnapping. I guess the other kidnapping was added for drama's seek.
