American Hostage is a psychological thriller set in 1977 that is inspired by the harrowing true story of Fred Heckman (Jon Hamm), a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who is thrust into the middle of a life-or-death crisis when hostage-taker Tony Kiritsis (Giovanni Ribisi) demands to be interviewed live on his popular radio news program.
American Hostage is an adaptation of the scripted true crime podcast of the same name that also starred Jon Hamm.
Jon Hamm and Giovanni Ribisi meet face to face as Fred Heckman and Tony Kiritsis in the season finale of American Hostage.
