The Manchurian Candidate
DramaMysterySci-FiThriller125 min
Years after the Gulf War, Denzel Washington is Major Ben Marco, a soldier whose recurring nightmares push him to question what happened when his squad was ambushed in Kuwait. The doubts center on Liev Schreiber’s Raymond Shaw, Marco’s former sergeant, now rising fast in Washington as a vice-presidential candidate and celebrated war hero. As Marco digs into broken memories and discovers an implant in his back, Jonathan Demme’s remake turns military trauma into a political conspiracy, with Meryl Streep looming over Shaw’s campaign as his hard-driving senator mother.
