Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor, John Malkovich
1984
A journalist is trapped in Cambodia during Pol Pot's bloody Year Zero cleansing campaign.
A stark portrayal of the Cambodian genocide, The Killing Fields is a sober and unflinching look at the chaos of war through the lens of friendship and survival. Haing S. Ngor's performance as Dith Pran is profoundly moving, lending an authenticity to the story that is both harrowing and essential. The film's raw depiction of the horrors faced by civilians is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
