48 horas(2008)

48 horas is a Spanish series dramatizing the kidnapping of Miguel Ángel Blanco Garrido, a PP councilor in the Basque Country, on July 10, 1997. The film follows the tense 48-hour ultimatum issued by his captors, who demand the transfer of prisoners to regional prisons or threaten to execute their hostage. Set against the backdrop of political violence in 1990s Spain, the narrative unfolds as a woman lures Blanco away from his routine, forcing him into a waiting car. The series examines the high-stakes standoff between the government and the kidnappers, the desperate search for the councilor, and the moral and political pressures that mount as the deadline approaches. Based on real events that shocked Spain, 48 horas explores the human cost of political extremism and the race against time to save a life.
