Kathryn Bigelow directs this Academy Award-nominated military action thriller about the mission by American special operations forces to capture or kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Shining a light on the secretive processes behind the world's greatest manhunt, the film details the work done by the intelligence team responsible for finally tracking down bin Laden, graphically documenting the unfolding ten-year intelligence hunt through the eyes of CIA analyst Maya (Jessica Chastain), whose initial minor role assumes ever-greater importance as a crack US Navy Seal team readies itself for its most important mission ever. Chastain won a Golden Globe Award for her role in the Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama category.
Academy Award-nominated psychological drama directed by Bennett Miller and starring Steve Carell and Channing Tatum. The film tells the story of how Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum) was invited by his multi-millionaire mentor John du Pont (Carell) to live on his estate while he trained for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. However, du Pont's mental instability quickly became apparent, and as he sought more and more to tighten his hold over Mark and have an active role in not only his training but his personal life as well, the dynamic between the pair turned sour - an event which would have dire consequences for Mark and his family... The supporting cast includes Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Michael Hall, Sienna Miller and Vanessa Redgrave.
In India, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning. With just a small store of memories and his unwavering determination, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times.
