This is the Oscar winning film based on the Thomas Harris thriller.

A young, newly appointed FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is assigned to find a missing woman, Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith) who is the daughter of a state senator, and to save her from a serial killer who's fetish is to skin his victims and to leave the case of a moth pupa in the throats of his victims.

Clarice tries to gain a better insight into the mind of the killer by talking to another serial killer, Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins), a once respected psychiatrist, now imprisoned in a secure unit for life.

Another FBI agent Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) believes that Hannibal Lecter, the reknowned mind manipulator, holds the answers to their questions and the key to help locate the killer.

Clarice must first try and gain Lecter's confidence before he is to give away any valuable and much needed information.
