Michael Mann's Manhunter: The Final Cut
Opens July 31, 2026
A new 4K Restoration of Michael Mann’s definitive director’s cut. Will Graham (William Petersen), a former FBI profiler, is cajoled out of retirement to help an old colleague track down a serial killer called "The Tooth Fairy." The question is: can they find the man in time to end his killing spree?
A retired criminal profiler (William Petersen) reluctantly returns to the FBI to help track down a serial killer of families and is forced to consult an expert—the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox in a subtly chilling performance). The third feature written and directed by Michael Mann is a gripping adaptation of the first of Thomas Harris’s four novels featuring the iconic murderer, and benefits from the filmmaker’s typically striking visuals as well as a top-notch supporting cast, including Tom Noonan as the hunted killer, and three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Contender, 2000) as his blind love interest. — Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
