Ordered to bear the bad news to families of fallen soldiers, and partnered with hard-line officer Captain Tony Stone (two-time Academy Award® nominee Woody Harrelson), Will faces this formidable mission while seeking comfort and healing back on the home front. Against protocol, Will is eventually drawn to Olivia (two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton), a recently fallen soldier's wife who has just been notified. One of the year's most critically acclaimed films, featuring tour-de-force performances from Foster, Harrelson, and Morton, THE MESSENGER is a surprising, moving, and ultimately human portrait of friendship, grief, and love.; ; Ben Foster (3:10 pour YUMA), dans sa plus grande prestation à vie, incarne Will Montgomery, un sergent traumatisé par la guerre qui revient de l'Irak pour occuper une nouvelle fonction, celle d'annoncer aux familles de militaires la mort d'un des leurs. Pour ce faire, il est jumelé à un capitaine intransigeant, Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson+, deux fois en nomination aux Oscars``'). Contre les protocoles, il se met à fréquenter Ohm (Samantha Morton', deux fois en nomination aux Oscars'''), qui a récemment appris que son mari était mort à la guerre. L'un des films les plus acclamés de l'année présentant des performances exceptionnelles de Foster, Harrelson et Morton, LE MESSAGER est un portrait surprenant, émouvant et humain de l'amitié, du chagrin et de l'amour.
