When an American journalist disappears during a South American coup, his father and wife embark on a desperate search for the truth—only to uncover a chilling web of government denial and political betrayal.
Based on true events, Missing is a gripping political thriller powered by powerhouse performances from Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek, in Oscar-nominated performances and directed with precision by Costa-Gavras. Tense, emotional, and devastatingly real.
