CLEVELAND ABDUCTION


SAG Award winner Taryn Manning ("Orange Is the New Black," "Hustle & Flow," "8 Mile") stars as Michelle Knight and SAG nominee Raymond Cruz ("Breaking Bad," "Major Crimes") portrays Ariel Castro in the Lifetime Original Movie "Cleveland Abduction" produced by Sony Pictures Television. The film explores the true story of Michelle Knight, a 21-year-old single mom whose life was irrevocably changed by a chance encounter with an unsuspected criminal.

On August 22, 2002, Knight was abducted by Castro in Cleveland and held captive in his home for more than 11 years. Finding strength through her belief in God and determined to be reunited with her son, Knight refused to be broken by the twisted Castro. Soon thereafter, he abducted two teenagers, Amanda Berry (Samantha Droke, "Eastwick") and Gina DeJesus (Katie Sarife, "Supernatural"), and imprisoned them alongside Michelle, who then became a friend and sister figure to her fellow victims.
