- Synopsis
- Patty Hearst's life changed abruptly at 9 p.m., February 4, 1974, when her fiancé , philosophy graduate student Steven Weed, opened the front door of their Berkeley, California, apartment. Two armed men and a woman, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, pushed their way in. "Bitch," one of them said to Patty, "better be quiet, or we'll blow your head off." In less than three minutes, Patty, wearing only a blue bathrobe, had been gagged, blindfolded, and, her hands bound, dragged through the living room, struck in the face with a rifle butt, and forced into the trunk of a car. She had been kidnapped.
