Synopsis
"Constantin Costa-Gavras helmed this thriller based on a true story. John Shea plays Charles Horman, an American expatriate living with his wife, Beth (Sissy Spacek), in a South American country in the midst of a coup. When Charles vanishes, Beth turns to his father (Jack Lemmon) for help. But the conservative businessman is about to learn a lesson in political reality ... and the ugly facts about the United States' involvement in Latin America." [Netflix] "Missing is a 1982 American historical drama film directed by Costa-Gavras and starring Jack Lemmon, Sissy Spacek, Melanie Mayron, John Shea and Charles Cioffi. It is based on the true story of American journalist Charles Horman, who disappeared in the bloody aftermath of the US-backed Chilean coup of 1973 that deposed the democratically elected socialist President Salvador Allende."
