FILM SYNOPSIS

After David Kim (John Cho)'s 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter's laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter's digital footprints before she disappears forever.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Science on Screen presentation that was planned for this event has been canceled. The film will still play at its 6:45 p.m. scheduled time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Reviews

"Searching," a pleasantly gimmicky movie, gets its power from something that isn't a gimmick at all: an actor's ability to simply and movingly tell a story.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Bottom line: Searching is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Louise Burrell, One Room With A View

Searching is a taut, effectively paced mystery-thriller with a powerful emotional component.
