Costa-Gavras directed this interesting account of Charles Harmon(played by John Shea) who, while trying to meet his wife Beth(played by Sissy Spacek) goes missing(along with a friend) in 1973 Chile after a local military coup. His father Ed(played by Jack Lemmon) is a conservative businessman who arrives in Chile to find him, though despite assurances from the American consulate that they will look into the matter, isn't convinced, and with Beth's help, discovers the awful truth about his son's fate and the complicity of his own government in the matter... Well acted and directed film about one father's determined quest to find the truth may be obvious to a point, but is still convincingly put across.
