After receiving an anonymous letter about a missing 12-year-old girl, devout Christian and dedicated cop Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) travels by seaplane to a remote Scottish island to investigate.  But the islanders welcome neither his badge nor religious devotion, for laird of the isle Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) and his devoted followers worship only the pagan gods of old — and those gods demand a sacrifice.  Howie fears for the missing girl’s life and follows every possible lead to find her — despite the islanders’ interfering machinations — before she becomes a human sacrificial lamb.

Starring Edward Woodward (Breaker Morant, TV’s The Equalizer), horror film legend Christopher Lee, stalwart Hammer vampiress Ingrid Pitt, and Swedish blonde bombshell/Bond Girl Britt Ekland (Man with the Golden Gun, After the Fox, Get Carter), THE WICKER MAN is regarded as a quintessential psychological thriller, with the search for its integral version one of cinema history’s great detective hunts.
