Real life hostage situation is now the basis for an untitled action thriller at Warner Bros that details the rescue of fifteen hostages in Colombia last year.

The film will focus on Operation Jaque, a five-year plan to locate and rescue three Americans who had been captured in 2003 by Colombian guerilla group FARC. This effort involved numerous governments, diplomats and intelligence services, as well as spies, military advisers and soldiers.

The script has been penned by Peter Landesman; it is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Scott Z. Burns.
