The Elizabeth Smart Story is a 2003 English-language Crime Drama film written by Nancey Silvers and directed by Bobby Roth and produced by Peter Sadowski and Randy Sutter. The motion picture originally aired on CBS. Upstanding citizen Ed Smart lives happily with his wife and five children in Salt Lake City until youngest daughter Mary Katherine is the traumatized sole witness to the kidnapping from their home of her sister Elizabeth.

For months the investigation goes nowhere, even after it becomes clear that Ricci is innocent. The lunatic kidnapper, homeless handyman turned mini-sect prophet 'Emmanuel', and his blindly-devoted wife meanwhile attempt to indoctrinate 'adopted, chosen' Elizabeth, but fate and his alcohol demon lead to his capture.
