Abandon is a thriller film released by Paramount Pictures in the US and Buena Vista Distribution internationally in 2002. It was written and directed by Stephen Gaghan and stars Katie Holmes as a college student whose boyfriend (played by Charlie Hunnam) disappeared two years previously. It is based on the book Adams Fall by Sean Desmond. Incidentally, the book was re-titled^[1] Abandon for the movie tie-in paperback printing.

The film co-stars Zooey Deschanel, and Benjamin Bratt as the detective investigating the boyfriend's disappearance. It received generally negative reviews, with Variety magazine dismissing it as "a tricked-up Fatal Attraction wannabe".^[2] Perhaps ironically, Fatal Attraction was also released by Paramount.
