The Wicker Man (Widescreen Unrated/Rated Edition)

Out patrolling a California highway, police
officer Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) stops a
station wagon to return a little girl's lost doll.
Moments later, a runaway truck slams into the
station wagon, igniting it into a fiery wreck with
the mother and child trapped inside. Edward fails
to save them before the car explodes...and then
spends months of his life choking down pills to
get the image of their faces out of his head. But
Edward is about to get a second chance. A
desperate letter from his former girlfriend,
Willow (Kate Beahan), arrives at his home with no
postmark. Willow came into his life and left just
as unexpectedly years before. But now, her
daughter Rowan has gone missing, and Edward is
theonly person she trusts to help locate her. She
asks him to come to her home on a private island -
Summersisle - a place with its own traditions
where people observe a forgotten way of life.
Edward seizes the opportunity to make his life
right again, and soon finds himself on a seaplane
bound for the islands of the Pacific Northwest.
But nothing is what it seems on isolated
Summersisle, where a culture, dominated by its
matriarch Sister Summersisle (Ellen Burstyn), is
bound together by arcane traditions and a pagan
festival called 'the Day of Death and Rebirth.
The secretive people of Summersisle only ridicule
his investigation, insisting that a child named
Rowan never existed there... or if she ever did
was no longer alive. But what Edward doesn't know
is that Willow's plea for help has invited more
into his life than a chance for redemption. In
unraveling Summersisle's closely held secrets,
Edward is drawn into a web of ancient traditions
and murderous deceit, and each step he takes
closer to the lost child brings him one step
closer to the unspeakable. And one step closer to
the Wicker Man.
