Tagline: For seven elite profilers, finding a serial killer is a process of elimination. Their own.
Mindhunters movie storyline. On a remote island, the FBI has a training program for their psychological profiling division, called “Mindhunters”, used to track down serial killers. The training goes horribly wrong, however, when a group of seven young agents discover that one of them is a serial killer, and is setting about slaying the others. Can the few that are left figure out who the killer is in time?
Hiding within a group of eight FBI profilers is a serial killer. In the ultimate test of their crime-solving savvy, these endangered young agents — each compelled by his or her secret past to probe the criminal mind — must figure out who among them is a ruthless predator . . . before, one by one, they all fall prey to the killer’s ingenious plan.
With Mindhunters, director Renny Harlin (“Cliffhanger,” “Die Hard 2,” “Deep Blue Sea,” “Driven”) gives the serial killer thriller an edge-of-your-seat whodunit twist. Inspired by Agatha Christie’s “Ten Little Indians,” the story crescendos in suspense as a group of brand new profilers realize that a terrible evil has entered their circle — and there may be no way out alive. When a simulated FBI training exercise turns shockingly real, with one of the agents meeting an unexpected demise, the profilers realize this is more than a final exam — it’s a battle for their lives.
Completely isolated, the agents have no choice but to solve the heinous crime on their own. But how can they trust one another when they each possess the skills, the motives and the means to be the murderer? No one is above suspicion, or the perils of overwhelming fear, as they use everything in their power to uncover the killer’s identity and end the relentless hunt.
