Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) is a veteran 911 operator, but when she makes a misstep and a call goes wrong, she is disturbed and unsure if she can continue, until youngster Casey Welson (Abigail Breslin) is kidnapped and dials 911. Jordan is the one who is needed to use all of her knowledge, intuition, and fast thinking to help Casey flee while simultaneously ensuring that the man is brought to justice.
Casey Welson, a teenage girl kidnapped by a serial murderer, is played by Abigail Breslin, while Jordan Turner, a 9-1-1 operator who is still reeling from a previous failed 9-1-1 call, is played by Halle Berry. Also starring are Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, Michael Imperioli, and David Otunga.
On February 26, 2013, a screening of 'The Call' was held at the Regal South Beach cinema as part of the Women's International Film Festival. On March 15, 2013, TriStar Pictures released it in theaters.
