"Your son is missing" it‘s the phone call every soldier‘s father dreads. What Hank Deerfield (Tommy Lee Jones) had never thought that this call would come when his son was home in the U.S, on leave from service in Baghdad. Facing military indifference in the disappearance, Hank decides to take matters into his own hands and discover the truth about what‘s happened to this son. With the reluctant help of police detective Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron), Hank embarks on a journey that will bring him against the closed ranks of the armed forces and the harsh realities of modern warfare. Written and directed by Academy Award–winner Paul Haggis and starring three Academy Award–winner actors – Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron and Susan Sarandon – alongside James Franco, Josh Brolin and Jason Patric – In the Valley of Elah is the powerful and gripping story of one father‘s search for the truth.
