Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI's
training academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to
interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant
psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars
for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford
believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as
an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
