The serial killer "Buffalo Bill" is up to mischief in Kansas City, and the ambitious FBI candidate Clarice becomes involved in the case. When the investigation comes to a standstill, it is decided to enlist the help of a murderer in police custody: Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Because only he seems to be able to put himself in the mind of the perpetrator and anticipate his next steps.
However, Lecter makes his willingness to help dependent on Clarice telling him an episode from her private life for every piece of information about Buffalo Bill, which increasingly develops into a psychological duel between the young candidate and the highly dangerous murderer. However, there is no time to lose, because the murders continue and nerves are on edge in the town...
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is the third and so far the last film to win the 'Big Five' - the five most important Oscars for just one film - at an Academy Awards ceremony.
