Synopsis
Like most families, the Millers have their challenges. Simon’s (Loren Dean) frequent business trips have created some distance between him and the rest of the family, leaving Meredith (Robyn Lively) stretched and struggling to keep things together. Daughter Sarah, an 18-year-old honor student, has recently gotten herself into trouble at school while son Kevin, 15, struggles to engage with anything outside of a video game…
But these issues all prove to be trivial when Simon goes missing. Sensing something is not right, the family frantically searches Simon’s office for information. Discovery of a stash of passports, all with Simon’s picture but each with a different alias, reveals that their father has been keeping more than a few secrets. In a frantic phone call, Simon urges the family not to tell anyone of his disappearance, not even the authorities, right before the line goes dead. Who is Simon Miller? And what exactly has he gotten himself – and now his family – into?
Shocked, scared and unsure if they can even trust the dad they thought they knew, the three embark on their own international mission to get him back. With Meredith’s sharp instincts, Sarah’s foreign language skills and Kevin’s natural tech genius, they try to unravel the mystery behind his disappearance. It’s a heart pounding family thriller that tests the limits to which families will fight for each other.
I had the opportunity to preview this movie today. The most important thing about the Family Movie Night movies is their wholesome quality. With all this spy drama and intrigue, I do not in any way have to worry about viewing this with my 8 year old son.
My 8 year old son was raised on movies such as Spy Kids and the like. He will love this movie. The suspense, the drama, the international intrigue – all elements that held me captive at the computer! And Christine Baranski is in it. She is one of my favorite actresses. The movie gets a thumb up just for that!
I cannot give away anymore info, I can only suggest you watch this movie with the whole family. My DVR is already set. My son will love it and my spouse will be glad we are not watching anything animated!
My only problem with this movie is that my 8 year old son will want to go into the spy business any minute now!
The premiere of “Who Is Simon Miller?” is on Saturday, August 6 on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
