In The Valley Of Elah

2007, 116 minutes, Rated MA

Award-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis (Crash) teams with Oscar-winning actors Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron And Susan Sarandon in this “haunting” and “essential” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) film rightly hailed as one of the year’s best.

Mike Deerfield returned to the U.S. after his tour of duty in Iraq, but then disappeared without a trace. Now, his father Hank (Jones in the Oscar nominated performance that will stay with you long after the film is over), a spit-and-polish ex-MP from the Vietnam era, has set out to find him. But in his search for the truth, Hank lays bare a tangled web of cover-up, murder, mystery and a profound revelation about the personal costs of war.
