Based on the novel by Thomas Harris,
RED DRAGON stars Edward Norton as Will Graham, the intuitive FBI agent who
captured the notorious Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). When
another killer, dubbed "the Tooth Fairy," begins a series of bizarre, seemingly
random killings, the now-retired Graham reluctantly agrees to aid in the
investigation. In order to get further into the mind set of the murderer, Graham
consults the imprisoned Lecter, who offers cryptic commentary that the
determined agent must decipher. However, the Tooth Fairy himself, Francis
Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes), is also in contact with the infamous epicurean, and
the case soon develops into a deadly cat-and-mouse game, with Lecter deviously
playing both sides.
