Hardcore

Drama directed by Paul Schrader and starring George C.

Scott as Jake Van Dorn, a deeply religious Midwestern businessman whose daughter Kristen (Ilah Davis) runs away while on a church-sponsored outing.

Desperate to locate his daughter, Jake hires a sleazy private detective (Peter Boyle) who discovers that Kristen has been making low-budget adult films.

When Jake realises that he can no longer trust the detective, he decides to hunt for his daughter himself and poses as an adult film producer casting a new movie.

As he gathers clues with ferocious determination, Jake's journey teaches him a lesson in big-city life and gives him a close-up view into the world of pornography.
