Synopsis:

Based on the best-selling thriller. Featuring an extraordinary international cast, Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline is a suspense thriller centering around an attractive and privileged woman who inherits the controlling interest of the family-owned pharmaceutical empire, and almost immediately finds her own life in jeopardy. The film marks the return to the screen of Audrey Hepburn, one of the legendary stars of the international film world, and includes a first-rate cast - all of whom have good reason to do away with the endangered heiress. Magnificent locations in New York, London, Paris, Sardinia, Rome and Munich provide a sweeping panorama of the world of the jet set.

Sam Roffe, president of a multi-national pharmaceutical corporation, is killed while mountain-climbing. It is first determined to be an accident, but Inspector Max Hormung later deduces that Roffe was murdered. Sam's daughter Elizabeth assumes control of the company, and while traveling through Europe she immediately becomes a target as well. Suspicion falls on the Roffe cousins, all of whom want to go public with the company and sell their stock at a huge profit. Since this would be against her father's wishes, Elizabeth rejects their advice and decides to keep the company within the family. As Inspector Hormung investigates the background of the cousins, more attempts are made on Elizabeth's life. Hoping to reveal the guilty party, Hormung is able to connect these attempts to a series of murders on prostitutes, which are recorded on snuff films.

Bloodline, a thriller based on a mystery novel by Sidney Sheldon and directed by Terence Young, is the story of Elizabeth Roffe (Audrey Hepburn), who inherits a huge pharmaceutical company and then discovers that some of her family members may be plotting her death in order to gain control of the company.
