Brilliantly helmed by legendary director Costa-Gavras (X, Amen), this highly acclaimed thriller chronicles the cruel fate of a leftist caught in political upheaval. An American freelance writer (John Shea) is living in Chile at the time of the 1973 coup that installed right-wing dictator Augusto Pinochet. When he disappears, his wife (Sissy Spacek) and father (Jack Lemmon) travel to the flashpoint and try desperately to find him. Confronted with lies and false hopes from both U.S. and foreign officials, the pair are soon embroiled in a far-reaching political conspiracy. With an A-List cast, Costa-Gavras fashions a compelling suspense saga that won Best Film at the Cannes Film Festival and garnered four Oscar® nominations.
