The Manchurian Candidate

Denzel Washington stars in this acclaimed remake from director Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs") as Ben Marco, a U.S. Army major whose foggy memories of a terrifying Gulf War incident threaten to unravel the political ambitions of Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), a former sergeant under Marco's command. Meryl Streep, Jon Voight, Kimberly Elise, Jeffrey Wright and Vera Farmiga co-star in this taut thriller.
