The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror thriller film directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally. It is based on Thomas Harris's 1988 novel of the same name. The film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she seeks the help of the incarcerated Dr. Hannibal Lecter to catch a serial killer. The title metaphorically represents the innocent victims in the film, and it is considered one of the greatest and most influential films of all time.
