Have you ever feared that someone was after you? Maybe you broke the law or were framed for a crime you didn't commit. Or, maybe, there is a coup d'etat in the country you are vacationing in and you need to escape to save your family from certain death. That is what happens to Owen Wilson and Lake Bell as they try to save their children in the international thriller NO ESCAPE. Whether it be from the authorities, a mysterious organization, or even an ex-wife, on the run movies have been around forever.

The key is that all of these characters use varying skills and abilities to evade their captors and clear their own names. If your favorite didn't make the cut, feel free to let us know in the strikebacks below.
