THE HUNTING PARTY (2007)
SYNOPSIS
“In war what you see, and what really happened,
are sometimes two very different things.”
TV News reporter Simon Hunt (RICHARD GERE) and
cameraman Duck (TERRENCE HOWARD) have
worked in the world's hottest war zones: from
Bosnia to Iraq, from Somalia to El Salvador.
Together they have dodged bullets, filed incisive
reports and collected Emmy awards. Then one
terrible day in a Bosnian village everything
changes. During a live broadcast on national
television, Simon has a meltdown. After that, Duck
is promoted and Simon just disappears.
Five years later Duck returns to Sarajevo with
rookie reporter Benjamin (JESSE EISENBERG) to
cover the fifth anniversary of the end of the war.
Simon shows up, a ghost from the past, with the
promise of a world exclusive. He convinces Duck
that he knows the whereabouts of Bosnia’s most
wanted war criminal “The Fox.” Armed with only
spurious information Simon, Duck and Benjamin
embark on a dark and dangerous mission that
takes them deep into hostile territory.
It’s the scoop of a lifetime but will they live to report
it?.--©Weinstein Company
