Walk on the wild side with Hardcore, Paul Schrader’s 1979 drama that delves into the seedy world of the adult film industry.

The film follows Jake Van Dorn (George C. Scott), a conservative Midwestern businessman whose world is upended when his teenage daughter, Kristen, goes missing during a church trip. After discovering that she has been drawn into the world of pornography, Jake hires a private investigator (Peter Boyle) to track her down, ultimately taking the investigation into his own hands. His relentless search leads him deep into a dark and dangerous subculture, forcing him to confront his own values and vulnerabilities.

With its unflinching exploration of exploitation and redemption, Hardcore is a powerful and unsettling study of a father’s love and the lengths he will go to save his child.
