Will fans of Twilight‘s hunky werewolf Taylor Lautner follow him to another action film that doesn’t feature sparkling vampires? Lionsgate’s hoping Abduction will draw in Twihards as well as fans of action films.

In addition to Taylor Lautner, the PG-13 action thriller stars Lily Collins as Karen, Alfred Molina as Burton, Jason Isaacs as Kevin, and Maria Bello as Mara. Sigourney Weaver stars as Dr Bennett, Denzel Whitaker is Gilly, and Michael Nyqvist plays Kozlow.

Directed by John Singleton, Abduction will open in theaters on September 23, 2011.

Official Synopsis: For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had the uneasy feeling that he’s living someone else’s life. When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons website, all of Nathan’s darkest fears come true: he realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he’ll survive – and solve the mystery of his elusive biological father – is to stop running and take matters into his own hands.
