MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (1962)

Nightmares bother a group of soldiers who have arrived home after the Korean War.  Major Marco (Frank Sinatra), who is one of the men suffering from the nightmares begins to investigate their reoccurrence.  A frightening detail appears, which indicates that their nightmares are almost the identical.  As the clues accumulate the plot thickens and the clues point toward their squad leader in Korea, Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey).  Nevertheless, the mystery remains why and how Raymond is involved in their frequent nightmares.  Manchurian Candidate keeps the audience in guessing in suspense throughout the film and it does not let go of the audience until the final scene.
