Hank is a bleak sort of man, perfectly content to eat in coffee shops featuring Formica décor, and to make his own bed - all neatly squared corners - in his budget motel. He does not laugh a lot - or, if memory serves, at all - and only rarely raises his voice despite his many frustrations. His only, and initially wary ally, is a young detective named Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron), who is endlessly harassed...

Since then, the McCanns have spearheaded a high-profile international campaign to find Madeleine. They have traveled across Europe and to the U.S., attended an audience with the Pope and roped in celebrities such as footballers David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo to keep the case in the public eye and encourage the police to redouble their efforts to find...
