Young female FBI agent is on the trail of a serial killer, and she needs the help of one of his kind to track him down.

Sweeping the Oscars in all the major categories, Silence of the Lambs is a nerve-chilling suspense thriller that some may find disturbing. Unforgettable performances and a script that took more than a few risks make this one of the genre's best.
