What is Patty Hearst about?
The true story of a rich girl who was abducted by American revolutionaries in the 1970s. Her time spent with her captors made her question herself and her way of life. She eventually joined their cause, sparking controversy.
Patty Hearst is a 1988 American biographical crime drama film directed by Paul Schrader. The film stars Natasha Richardson as Hearst Corporation heiress Patricia Hearst and Ving Rhames as Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) leader Cinque. The film depicts Hearst's kidnapping, her transformation into an active follower of the SLA after a long-lasting imprisonment and process of purported brainwashing, and her final arrest after a series of armed robberies. It is based on Hearst's 1982 autobiography Every Secret Thing, which was later rereleased as Patty Hearst – Her Own Story.
