Line 9:
=== 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 on 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.
