Manhunter (1986)

Manhunter is a 1986 American crime drama-thriller film written and directed by Michael Mann. It is based off of Thomas Harris' 1981 novel Red Dragon. (See also: Red Dragon for the remake)

FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (William Petersen) is called out of early retirement to assist on a serial murder case involving a killer known as the "Tooth Fairy" (Tom Noonan). Graham enlists the help of imprisoned serial killer -- and cannibal -- Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox), who is the reason Graham took an early retirement. Soon, Graham and the FBI are entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Tooth Fairy, Lecktor and an interfering journalist (Stephen Lang).
