Actor Liam Neeson's signature film that cemented his status as an action star, "Taken," is returning to theaters on November 12 to mark its 18th anniversary.

"Taken: I Will Find You" is a time-attack action thriller that follows the ruthless pursuit of a former CIA operative given just 96 hours to rescue his kidnapped daughter. Upon its initial release in 2008, it was a box-office hit in South Korea, drawing 2.36 million moviegoers. Liam Neeson, who had gained widespread acclaim as a dramatic actor through "Schindler's List," transformed into an action star through this project.

The re-released version features a new title, adding a subtitle inspired by the iconic movie line "I WILL FIND YOU, I WILL KILL YOU" to the original title "Taken."

The trailer released ahead of the re-release instantly heightens tension by vividly depicting the moment when his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace), who traveled to Paris, is kidnapped by intruders while on the phone with her father Bryan (Liam Neeson). As unfamiliar men barge in, the scene cuts between Bryan's calm voice giving instructions to his daughter over the phone and Kim's terrified screams, adding to the suspense.

Following scenes capture the iconic phone call with the kidnapper that represents "Taken," drawing attention. Bryan's warning to the unidentified person who took his daughter, "I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you," has spawned numerous parodies and homages since its release, remaining a legendary line talked about to this day.

On top of this, relentless action sequences including shootouts, hand-to-hand combat, and downtown chases preview Bryan's relentless pursuit using any means necessary to save his daughter, fully conveying the extreme tension brought by the 96-hour limit.

The film "Taken: I Will Find You," where audiences can once again experience the 96-hour countdown to rescue the daughter and Liam Neeson's overwhelming presence on the big screen, will arrive in theaters on November 12.
