Top cover girl and fashion model, Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) has it all - beauty, fame, money and power. Appearing on covers of hundreds of magazines, Jennifer is America's sweetheart. Everyone wants her.

But someone out there has been watching and waiting. Someone wants her in the worst way. Out alone at a charity event in New York, Jennifer is drugged and taken. Held captive in a cell, she is subjected to a series of terrifying, life-threatening tortures that could only be conceived by a twisted, sadistic mind.

Based on the true story of the relationship between Sidney Schanberg (Sam Waterston), a Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent, and Dith Pran (Haing S Ngor), the Cambodian aide who remains behind following the evacuation of Cambodian citizens by the US army.

Initially sending Schanberg news flashes, Pran is subsequently captured by the Khmer Rouge and subjected to the atrocities of the barbarous 're-education camps'.

A startling feature debut from director Roland Joffe, The Killing Fields graphically articulates the carnage and absurdity of war, offering an apocalyptic vision of the fields where innocent people were slaughtered en masse.
