Synopsis
Based on a true story, THE HUNTING PARTY stars Richard Gere as Simon, a formerly successful war journalist, who now disgraced embarks on an investigation to track down an infamous war criminal still at large in Eastern Europe.
Teaming up with his former cameraman, Duck (Terrence Howard) and an eager, young journalist Benjamin (Jesse Eisenberg) who's straight out of college, the three set off on their own assignment, which soon turns into a dangerous.
As their questions cause hostility from the locals and uncover information certain people want to remain a secret they attract unwanted attention of elusive underworld moguls, which becomes increasingly counterproductive to their objective. They gradually learn that the truth surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance may be just as elusive as the war criminal himself.
