Synopsis
Two men, Danny and Vic, decisively steal a van and use it initially to buy and transport their supplies back to a rundown flat where they decorate and convert it to suit their purpose, which includes soundproofing and bolting a bed to the floor.
Disguising their faces and arming themselves they scour the streets until they find their victim - a young woman alone on a suburban street. Abducting the girl, Alice Creed, in the van they stole beforehand, they take her back to their prepared flat and incarcerate her there restrained to the bed...
