PREVIEW




War veteran Hank Deerfield (Jones) and his wife Joan (Sarandon) must search for their son Mike, a U.S. soldier who recently returned from duty in Iraq, but has since mysteriously disappeared. Charlize Theron plays the investigating police officer who becomes personally involved in the case. Rumours abound that this is loosely-based on the real-life story of soldier Richard Davis. Oscar-winner Paul Haggis (Crash) directs.
