Master Ridley Scott's latest work based on a real-life kidnapping incident

Rome in 1973. The grandson of the famous oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer) is kidnapped and a ransom demand of $17 million is delivered to him. However, he refuses to comply with his demands, and as a result, his grandson's mother, Gail (Michelle Williams), is forced to negotiate with the kidnapper all by herself. ``All the Money in the World,'' which depicts the kidnapping of a wealthy relative, is based on ` `The Law of Evil, '' which was released five years ago by director Ridley Scott (`` Alien ,'' 1979, and `` Blade Runner ,'' 1982). This is a superb crime thriller in the vein of (13). Just like in the same film, the film master uses his solemn image-making and uncompromising direction to expose the rotten cruelty of humans and the absurd consequences of fate.

The only difference is that ``Law of Evil'' was an original story written by Cormac McCarthy, while ``The All the Money in the World'' is based on an actual incident, and it leaves viewers with an unusual story that surpasses that of fiction. It brings a shock.

However, what caught the attention of the audience even more than these details was probably a production accident in which the lead actor was changed just before the film was completed. Initially, the role of Getty in this film was played by Kevin Spacey, the famous actor of `` The Usual Suspects '' (1995) and ` `Baby Driver '' (17). However, he was accused of past sexual harassment and was forced to quit. Therefore, veteran Christopher Plummer (`` The Insider '' (1999), `` Beginners '' (10)) was appointed as his replacement.
