TAKE DOWN is an action packed thriller that takes place on a remote island.  A group of reckless sons and daughters of international billionaires are sent to an exclusive, tough-love boot camp to learn basic survival skills in the hope it will teach them to take responsibility for their lives. When they are taken hostage and held for a billion dollar ransom by a group of sophisticated kidnappers, the captives are forced to use their limited wilderness training to survive.
 
Isle of Man Film’s Mike Reaney said:
 
“TAKE DOWN is a very exciting project for us, with a strong production team and a fantastic young cast. As an outdoor thriller, TAKE DOWN makes good use of our many coastal and woodland locations. Isle of Man scenery will feature heavily throughout the film.”
