The Call 2013

The Call is a 2013 American thriller film directed by Brad Anderson and written by Richard D'Ovidio. Produced with a budget of $13 million, the film stars Abigail Breslin as Casey, a teenage girl who is kidnapped by a serial killer, and Halle Berry as Jordan, the 9-1-1 operator who receives her call. Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, Michael Imperioli, and David Otunga also star. The story was originally envisioned as a television series, but D'Ovidio later rewrote it as a 94-minute feature film. Filming began in July 2012 and spanned a period of 25 days, with all scenes being shot in Los Angeles, mainly Burbank and Santa Clarita.
The plot of the film focuses on the role of 9-1-1 operators in law enforcement. Specifically, it follows Jordan, an operator who is still suffering emotionally from a botched procedure and who is thrown back into fielding calls following the abduction of a girl. For most of the film, Jordan performs as a typical 9-1-1 operator before becoming active in the field investigation in the final act.
A screening of The Call was held at the Women's International Film Festival hosted at the Regal South Beach theater on February 26, 2013. TriStar Pictures released it to theatres a few weeks later on March 15, 2013. Considered to be high-concept by many reviewers, the film proved a commercial success, grossing nearly $60 million despite receiving mixed reviews. Halle Berry was nominated for Choice Movie Actress in a Drama at the Teen Choice Awards and Best Actress at the BET Awards
