The Take stars Tyrese Gibson, John Leguizamo and Rosie Perez in the leading roles. It is set in eastern Los Angeles and starts with the main character, Felix De La Pena, played by John Leguizamo, working as an armored truck driver, a fairly dangerous job on its own. One day on the job, however, he ends up getting shot and kidnapped briefly during a carjacking by Adell Baldwin, played by Tyrese Gibson. Pena is freed but once the ordeal is over he goes through post-traumatic stress disorder, starts to become more aggressive and irritable, loses some memory and as a result, needs to be rehabilitated. He is supported by his wife Marina, played by Rosie Perez, which is necessary because along with everything else that has happened, he is also being framed for the crime. With no evidence to help him, Pena is left with little choice and decides to track down the real criminals and vindicate himself before it's too late.
