Ragıp Elibol is a wealthy and stingy businessman. He separated from Melek, the mother of his children, and married Dürdane. His son Cengiz is studying at university, while his daughter Zeliha is at home waiting for a husband. One day, Ragıp is hit by a car while driving. Four young people, who have many things they want to do but cannot afford, kidnap Ragıp, thinking he can provide them with the means to do so. They claim to be a secret organization and demand a ransom. His wife Dürdane informs the police, explaining that she is being threatened for ransom. Everyone he knows, including his family and business partner, is delighted about the ransom. No one contributes to the demanded ransom. Ragıp learns that he has no one who loves him thanks to those who kidnapped him. When the young people lose hope of getting the money, they release Ragıp.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
