 The Missing Production NotesHow far would you go, how much would you sacrifice to get back what you have lost?
In the 1880's after a very long disappearance a father returns to find the family he left behind to live with the natives. His estranged daughter Maggie is not pleased by his arrival. When Maggie's daughter is kidnapped the two must work together to track down the evil pack of men that did this and get Maggie's daughter back.
From Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, the Oscar-winning director-producer team of A Beautiful Mind comes The Missing, an action-filled suspense thriller and a powerful drama of love, forgiveness and redemption starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett.
Set in the starkly beautiful but isolated and lawless wilderness of the American Southwest in 1885, The Missing tells the story of Maggie Gilkeson (Blanchett) and her estranged father Jones (Tommy Lee Jones) and how they are reunited by a terrifying crisis.
Maggie is a hard-working young woman devoted to raising her two young daughters, the teenage Lilly (Evan Rachel Wood) and the younger Dot (Jenna Boyd). To support herself, Maggie works the land and provides services as a healer. One day, Maggie's father, Jones, who abandoned her when she was a child and spent 20 years with the Apache people, returns to reunite with his family but is rebuffed by his daughter. It is only after Lilly is abducted by Pesh-Chidin (Eric Schweig), a psychopathic killer with mystical powers, that Maggie turns to her father for help in getting her daughter back.
