Synopsis
A psychopath known as "Buffalo Bill" is kidnapping and killing young girls across the Midwest. Convinced that someone can help figure out the killer's profile, the FBI sends agent Clarice Starling to interview a demented prisoner to provide psychological clues to explain the killer's actions.
The man behind bars is Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant murderous psychiatrist who will only help Starling if she satisfies his morbid curiosity with personal details from her complicated life.
This twisted relationship leads Starling not only to face her own demons, but to come face to face with the very incarnation of evil, a deranged killer so powerful she may not have the strength to stop him. A film with a load of suspense like never seen before.
