On March 15, 2013, The Call, staring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin was released into theaters across the country.

Halle Berry plays a successful 911 operator, Jordan, in downtown Los Angeles.  As the movie begins, characters are introduced including her LAPD officer boyfriend, and a very unsympathetic supervisor.

Jordan receives a call from a teenage girl who is alone and in midst of a home invasion. She helps the girl to come up with a scheme to avoid the predator, but when the call is lost and Jordan redials her, the ring gives away her location.

The girl is abducted and murdered by an unseen killer and Jordan feels so guilty she takes a leave of absence.

Jordan soon returns as a teacher, but swoops in to help and new employee struggling with a call.

Casey (Breslin) was drugged and kidnapped and has just woken up in the trunk of a car that is speeding down the freeway. Desk bound Jordan is now forced to coach the hysterical teen to try to tip off other cars and give away her location.

Jordan does her best to help Casey escape a serial killer and get home safely to her family.

The Call leaves the viewer in suspense throughout the entire film. Jordan must face her fears to help a child in need and Casey must find the courage to help herself. The ending leaves more to be desired and makes the viewer hope for a sequel.
