Red Riding: 1980

In Red Riding – 1980, Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum) is veteran police officer Peter Hunter, called in to tackle the baffling mystery of the Yorkshire Ripper that has confounded the local law enforcement for years. Hunter soon finds that the only thing more challenging than catching the Ripper is getting his fellow officers to investigate the corruption he believes is at the heart of the case. Joined by an excellent cast including the legendary James Fox (A Passage To India), this is a gritty and remarkable work directed by Oscar® winner* James Marsh (Man On Wire) that draws on the terrifying real events that gripped England in the 70s and 80s. Red Riding – 1980 stands wholly on it own but is also one of three films in the Red Riding Trilogy hailed by critics around the world as the movie event of the year.
