Michael Mann's sleek, coldly stylish thriller was the first film to feature Hannibal Lecter, here spelled Lecktor and played by Brian Cox, years before Anthony Hopkins. William Petersen stars as a haunted FBI profiler lured back to catch a serial killer by entering the mind of a monster. Drenched in Mann's neon-and-synth 1980s aesthetic, it flopped on release but is now regarded as a stylish, influential precursor to 'The Silence of the Lambs' and a cult favorite.
