Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hostage (also known as Savage Attraction) is a 1983 Australian exploitation crime drama directed by Frank Shields, starring Kerry Mack and Ralph Schicha. The film is based on the true story of Christine Lewis (Mack), a 16 year old runaway living in Woollongong, NSW who meets and falls in love with a young German carnival worker named Walter Maresch (Schicha), only to effectively become his hostage when he turns out to be an abusive and sadistic criminal and neo-Nazi on the run from the authorities.Not to be confused with the 2005 film of the same name starring Bruce Willis.
