That film was ‘A Mighty Heart,’ which came out in 2007. Read on to know about the film’s plot and where to watch it on OTT.
A Mighty Heart – Plot & Cast
Directed by Michael Winterbottom, the film was based on the French journalist Mariane Pearl’s memoir of the same name. It’s based on a shocking true story about Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl’s kidnapping by terrorists while he was reporting in Pakistan. When her husband, Daniel Pearl (played by Dan Futterman), goes missing in Pakistan, his wife, Mariane Pearl (Angelina Jolie), sets out on a relentless and desperate search to locate him against all odds.
She works with local authorities and international agencies to uncover the truth while dealing with unwanted attention and intense pressure. The film also features Indian actor Irrfan Khan in the role of a senior cop. Other cast members include Will Patton, Alyy Khan, and Archie Panjabi, among others.
