Two-time Academy Award-nominee Ed Harris, Anne Heche and Armin Mueller-Stahl star in this provocative and powerful mystery from director Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa).
Father Frank Shore (Harris) is a church-appointed spiritual detective whose job is to investigate claims of miracles.Having lost his faith after an incident that earned him the nickname "The Miracle Killer," he takes to the streets in despair.When a statue at a convent begins crying blood, Father Shore is asked to look into the death of Helen O'Regan, a devout Catholic who is believed to be responsible for the healing tears.His investigation leads him to her daughter Roxane (Heche), a non-believer who cannot forgive her mother for abandoning her.As he struggles to choose between Helen's cause and his feeling for Roxane, Father Shore also must prove his cast to the church, whose decision to name Helen a saint rests on his ability to convince the "Devil's Advocate," Archbishop Werner (Mueller-Stahl), of her worthiness.As sensual as it is spiritual, The Third Miracle is "a masterwork" of filmmaking that "packs the power of a genuine revelation!" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times)
