Product Details
A triple bill of Hannibal Lecter films.
'Red Dragon' (2002) is Hannibal Lecter's (Anthony Hopkins) third film outing but
is based on the first Thomas Harris novel which introduced the character. FBI
agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) has retired with his family to Florida after a
near-death experience when he tracked down and captured Lecter. However, when a
new serial killer, 'the tooth fairy' who kills whole families, is discovered,
Graham finds himself back on the force and asking for Lecter's help. But the
tooth fairy has been writing to Lecter and Lecter cannot resist playing each
side off each other, to such an extent that Graham's family are to be the next
victims.
In 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1990) FBI officer Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster)
is investigating a bizarre and gruesome series of murders, carried out by
'Buffalo Bill'. The investigation steps up a gear when the mayor's daughter is
abducted. Starling turns for help to incarcerated psychopath Lecter (Hopkins),
who has a penchant for chewing people's faces off. Given special privileges in
exchange for information, Lecter escapes, leaving two twisted killers on the
loose.
Whilst in 'Hannibal' (2001) it is ten years since the events of the previous
film and FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore), recently in trouble with
her superiors over a bungled shoot-out, suddenly receives a letter from the
escaped Hannibal. It does not reveal his whereabouts, but after many years of
inactivity, it does announce his interest in returning to the public domain.
Clarice has the letter analysed and begins scanning the internet, desperately
searching for any clues which will help her reach him before he strikes again.
Meanwhile, one of Hannibal's previous victims, the horribly disfigured
multi-millionaire Mason Verger, is also on the trail of his tormentor, eager for
revenge and the chance to introduce the good doctor to his herd of
specially-cultivated carnivorous pigs.
