A more modern version of the classic ransom note, gaining popularity in recent years with the increasing use of the internet and real life use by groups like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Basically, our particular hostage is tied to a chair with a flag backdrop, while one or more bad guys in balaclavas look menacing with firearms. Then the hostage is forced to a) denounce his country b) read out his captors' demands c) beg his nation's leaders to help or d) a combination thereof. Other variations include placing the hostage in mortal peril with a ticking clock. If the bad guys don't get what they want, things might turn into a Snuff Film. |

In Iron Man, Tony Stark is filmed with demands being made by the terrorists in Urdu. Audience members who don't happen to speak that language won't find out until later that it's not a ransom demand. The terrorists were hired by Obadiah Stane to kill Stark, and they're demanding more money to finish the job now they realise who their famous captive is. | |

Hot Shots! Part Deux. The Iraqis force Colonel Walters to make a video saying how well treated he is (the obscene hand signals he's giving make it clear what we're supposed to think of this). | |

In Blooded, the Animal Wrongs Group forces each of the hunters they have just pursued across the island to read a prepared statement denouncing hunting and renouncing their previous beliefs, which they video and intend to up load to the web. Liv, Ben, Charlie and Eve all comply, but Lucas regards his position as the public face of the hunting lobby as being too important and remains Defiant to the End. | |

In an episode of Jonathan Creek, a confusing hostage tape kicks off the mystery. The plot twist is that the tape in question was not the hostage tape, the contents were being livestreamed to the TV. | |
