{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes in this movie: ===
* [[Arbitrarily-Large Bank Account]]: Gilly, Nathan's friend who scores him fake ID's, train tickets, ''game-day playoff tickets'', and large sums of cash in short order. [[Fridge Logic|What on earth is this kid involved in to give him such fluid resources at his age?]]
* [[Artistic License: Law]]: Nathan's birth certificate says "State of Pennsylvania", but Pennsylvania is a [[wikipedia:Commonwealth#U.S. states|Commonweath]]. Also, Nathan rides around on his motorcycle without a helmet - but PA laws say you ''must'' wear one until you are 21 years of age. High School wrestlers must wear headgear during tournaments, but they don't.
* [[California Doubling]]: The movie is set and filmed in [[Pittsburgh]], but Pittsburgh also stands in for Virginia. A corridor in the August Wilson Center for the Preforming Arts doubles as CIA headquarters.
* [[Changeling Fantasy]]: Pretty much the whole plot.
Line 24:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Nathan's family was hardly straight about him about him being adopted, nor did Nathan go straight to his parents when he began to suspect that he was. Folks died.
* [[Removed From the Picture]]: Nathan's baby picture was found to be cropped once they find an artifact of an arm in it.
* [[I Thought That Was]]: The movie is called "Abduction", so guess who gets/got abducted! Give up? ''Nobody.'' Karen gets very temporarily kidnapped while on the train, but hardly enough so to qualify for the title.
* [[Thriller Onon the Express]]: The protagonists try to leave for Kansas by train. It doesn't work out well.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: A man is gunned down by a sniper in broad daylight outside of a busy baseball stadium. No one outside of the main characters notices.
** Some people in the parking lot noticed, but they were just sort of pointing and nonchalantly trying to figure out where the shot came from. They didn't really seem to care though.
