'The Silence of the Lambs'

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ returns to select theaters nationwide on Sunday, Oct. 17 and Wednesday, Oct. 20, courtesy of TCM Big Screen Classics and Fathom Events.

With a psychopath named Buffalo Bill is murdering women and believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) to interview a demented prisoner: Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a cannibalistic psychiatrist whose fascination with the young agent is as great as his hunger for murder. As their relationship develops, Starling is forced to confront not only her own demons, but also an evil so powerful she may not have the courage to stop!
