"No, no hospital... gunshot wound, they have to file a report. And if they file a report, they find me. And if they find me, they find the boy." – John Book

Why watch this? It is a brilliant film juxtaposing the peaceful Amish culture against urban violence.

Plot Summary: When a young Amish boy witnesses a murder in Philadelphia, a detective goes undercover in the boy's rural Amish community to protect him from the killers. The detective must navigate the unfamiliar world of the Amish while trying to identify and avoid the dangerous individuals responsible for the crime. The film explores the stark contrast between the detective's violent world and the peaceful, traditional Amish lifestyle

Dad's Preview: Using the Pennsylvania Amish community as the backdrop for a crime thriller was an incredible idea. This is one of Harrison Ford's best acting efforts as a tough Philly detective who is forced to hide a young Amish boy from corruption in his own police department. The film is both warm and pleasant, yet extremely intense at times. An incredible musical score enhances the idyllic countryside scenes. This received 8 Oscar nominations (winning Best Screenplay and Best Editing).
