Tom Mullen is the main protagonist of the 1996 action thriller film Ransom. He was portrayed by Mel Gibson who later played Graham Hess in Signs.
Tom Mullen is a multi-millionaire who was an ex-combat pilot in the Air Force. After he left the Air Force, he started his own airline company called Endeavor airlines which made him wealthy. He is happily married to Kate and has a son Sean. Tom is a wealthy industrialist and a nice guy, who doesn't look or act like a rich snob. Tom cares about his son and very loyal to him. Unfortunately, Tom also has a dark past involving dealings with Mafia members.
Kate organizes a huge science fair in Central Park, Sean can't enter because his mother is charge of the event it wouldn't be fair to the other participants. Sean understood, but attended the event anyway. Tom had a phone call on his cell phone, Sean wandered off a little bit and he was abducted in the park. Tom and Kate found out Sean was kidnapped and they are demanding two million dollars for him and they are instructed not to contact the police in this matter. Tom didn't want to call the authorities, as they were instructed not to. He relents when he sees Kate's face. Kate asked Tom to call the F.B.I, but Tom had enough with the F.B.I. since they tried to bury him in the machinist strike. The FBI decides to clear him on that incident. Lonnie Hawkins is the F.B.I. agent who is in charge of the Sean Mullen kidnapping case and helps Tom bring him back.
In a conversation with Lonnie, he revealed that he suspected Jackie Brown, a mobster who was trying to usurp Tom's company in the machinist strike. Tom told Lonnie, that he did tried to pay him off, but it was sting operation to make him take that bribe, and he is in jail. Lonnie was okay with this. Tom thinks Jackie maybe the one who kidnapped his kid. He went with Lonnie to see Jackie in jail. Jackie revealed he had nothing to do with this. Since he was out of money, no more connections, he no longer has the resources, nor was inclined to, as he has children of his own. Jackie Brown was outraged that Tom accused him, and attacked him. In his eyes, Tom as equally guilty in the matter.
The kidnappers called and ordered Tom to do a simple task or obstacles if he wants to see his son. Tom did every task that the kidnapper told him. Eventually, Shaker revealed his reasons for kidnapping Sean. Tom was an easy target, he buys his way out of trouble. He resented Tom for being able to evade going to jail, since Shaker saw him as being just as much of a criminal. Shaker wanted to test Mullen to see if paying off Jackie Brown to save his airline was equally as important as saving his son. Tom delivered the money, but it went sour immediately, when one of the kidnappers was killed and when the FBI messed up the ransom demand. They ID one of the kidnappers is Cubby Barnes, a known scumbag who has a brother named Clark, also a known scumbag.
It is revealed that Maris, Cubby, Clark, and Miles are working for Detective Jimmy Shaker, a corrupt NYPD cop. Shaker gives Mullen another chance to get his two million dollars. This time, plans changed when Tom decided to do things his way. He did it Shakers way, and it didn't bring back his son. So, he arranged a live news event and makes an announcement that he is changing the two million dollars ransom money into a reward money as a bounty for Shaker's life. If he returns his son, unharmed he will withdraw the bounty. Now the stakes are up to him. Shaker tries to retaliate Mullen's plan. He entices Kate to come alone and meet him. Intimidating and abusing her, he tries to convince Kate to make Tom withdraw the bounty. Kate figured out from Lonnie, that he tried to pay off Brown to save his airline, but he won't save his own son. Tom is convinced that they will kill Sean, regardless if he gives him the money or not. When he saw Kate's bruised face, he decide up the bounty to four million and on the phone, and that he was not bluffing. Shaker called again, enraged. He was prepared to kill Mullen's kid, but he faked Sean's murder. Tom and Kate thought Shaker killed Sean, he didn't.
The kidnappers had enough of Shaker's brutality, and fearing their being implicated in the kidnapping, decide to walk away. Since Sean is blindfolded and they can't I.D. them, they are convinced that they will get off scot free.

Jul 22, 2020 · The goal of this is to make enough money that I can do another one. So the money that I made from the last one is being put back into making the second one.
