Abducted is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Boon Collins and released in 1986.[1] The film stars Dan Haggerty as Joe Evans, a mountain man who abducts jogger Renee (Roberta Weiss) and holds her prisoner at his cabin.[2]

The cast also includes Lawrence King-Phillips, William Nunn, Stephen E. Miller, John Welsh, James Tyson, Rae Ford, Harold J. McCullough, Skip Borland, Rob Morton, Nelson Camire, Earl Jergens and Roy Waggoner.

VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever characterized it as a "weird and unbelievably tedious" film whose primary value is that it contains spectacular wilderness footage.[2]

Collins released a sequel film, Abducted II: The Reunion, in 1994.[4]
