Taken is a 2008 English-language French action thriller film which stars Liam Neeson.
He plays a former (CIA) operative who sets about tracking down his daughter after she is kidnapped by human traffickers for sexual slavery while travelling in France.
Enigma codes pose questions to the audience which are then answered shortly after or later on in the film. For example, who is she? Where is she going? Why is she doing that? They're questions enabling the audience to get intrigued with the film and wanting to find out the answers to these questions, therefore watching more of it. Enigma codes entice the audience to watch the rest of the film as they're curious as to what will happen next; they also help to move on the narrative.
An example of an enigma code is when the main character (Liam Neeson’s) daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers. People may question
 Why she was targeted out of the thousands of girls in Paris?
Does her kidnapping link to her father?
