Synopsis
"This political thriller has its origins in an actual event -
the dissapearance of a young American writer and filmmaker, Charles Horman (John
Shea), during a South American military coup. Jack Lemmon stars as Charles'
father, Ed Horman, a prominent New York businessman, who comes to the aid of
Charles' wife, Beth (Sissy Spacek), in her desperate search for her missing
husband. They are led in circles, up blind alleys and are confronted with lies
and false hopes from both the U.S. and foreign officials, But they frantically
trudge on together, overcoming their past differences until the painful,
shattering conclusion."
