Rent Missing (1982)

This political thriller has its origins in an actual event - the disappearance of a young American writer and filmmaker, Charles Horman (John Shea), during a South American military coup. Jack Lemmon stars as Charles' father, Ed Horman, a prominent New York "businessman, who comes to the aid of Charles' wife, Beth (Sissy Spacek), in her desperate search for her missing husband. They are led in circles, up blind alleys and are confronted with lies and false hopes from both U.S. and foreign officials. But they frantically trudge on together, overcoming their past differences. Until the painful, shattering conclusion.

Missing review by Jawbreaker

Stunning political thriller

Still today, the main message of Missing carries true and remains relevant. On one hand you have Jack Lemmon in a career best role as the stubborn father. Refusing to believe that the American government is anything other impartial and not assisting the new power brokers in Chile. He is slowly discovering his own son and how restrictive Chile has become, assisted by Beth. Missing persons and their families don't matter on the political radar, despite how loudly you shout. Frustrated he takes up his own investigation to uncover the truth. Even after 25 years Missing is a fine piece of work from Constantin Costa-Gavras.
