M | 1985 | DCP | US | D: Peter Weir

When an Amish boy witnesses a murder, a tough city detective (Harrison Ford) must protect the boy and his widowed mother (Kelly McGillis). Peter Weir’s film is an electrifying thriller, a cross-cultural love story and offers a compelling exploration of the lives and values of the Amish community.

‘It is a movie about adults, whose lives have dignity and whose choices matter to them. And it is also one hell of a thriller.’ – Robert Ebert

Available as a 7-film Peter Weir Spotlight pass. Learn More.
