Saturday Cinema

Taken, 9.45pm, RTÉ One

Here’s the original thriller, starring Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace, that turned Neeson into an unlikely macho superstar.

It all kicks off when an American teenager travelling through Europe is abducted by a gang of sex traffickers.

But what the kidnappers don’t realise is that the girl's father is a former CIA agent, who employs all his old skills as he searches for the criminals and tries to rescue his daughter.

Saturday Night Fever, Midnight, RTÉ2

Superb, realistic and gritty disco drama, starring John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney and Paul Pape, and featuring songs by the Bee Gees.

Though it brought disco to the mainstream, Saturday Night Fever is much more than the sum of its soundtrack and dance steps.

Travolta became a global superstar as streetwise Brooklyn teenager Tony Manero, who struggles to cope with a dead-end job and a dysfunctional family.

Dancefloor demon Tony finds an escape in the disco scene, where he falls in love with a girl dreaming of breaking free from her equally poor background to pursue a brighter future in Manhattan.

Emily has a work crisis and asks Stephanie to babysit her son, but later goes missing amid suggestions from colleagues she has jetted off to Miami. Feeling perplexed, Stephanie attempts to get to the bottom of her friend's mysterious actions.

Family Flick

Shrek, 6.35pm, RTÉ One

Another chance to see this animated comedy, with the voices of Mike Myers, John Lithgow, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and Vincent Cassel.

Anti-social ogre Shrek resolves to stop an evil ruler from banishing fairy-tale characters to his swampland home.

But the reluctant hero ends up forced to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona from a castle guarded by a dragon, aided only by a wisecracking donkey.
