Red Dragon
To understand the origin of evil, you must go back to the beginning.
Directed by Brett Ratner
Produced by Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A dark, psychologically intense thriller that explores the twisted symbiosis between a traumatized profiler and a brilliant cannibal killer, built on sustained dread and intellectual cat-and-mouse games.
Former FBI Agent Will Graham, who was once almost killed by the savage Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter, now has no choice but to face him again, as it seems Lecter is the only one who can help Graham track down a new serial killer.
