Morgan
Freeman returns as forensic psychologist Dr. Alex Cross in this thriller
based on the novel by James Patterson (whose work also formed the basis of
the hit Kiss the Girls). Gary Soneji (Michael Wincott) is a brilliant but
remorseless psychopath who has landed a teaching position at an exclusive
private school in Washington, D.C. Using his extensive knowledge of
kidnapping (he's taught a class on Charles Lindberg), Soneji abducts one of
his students - Megan (Mika Boorem), whose father Hank Rose (Michael
Moriarty) is a United States senator. Ollie MacArthur (Dylan Baker), the
detective investigating the case, has strong words for Jezzie Flannigan
(Monica Potter), the Secret Service agent who mistakenly let Megan slip
through her fingers. But when the kidnapper contacts Dr. Cross, the
psychologist is brought in on the case, and Cross seeks out Flannigan, who
he believes might have a valuable insight into the case. Soon, Cross and
Flannigan come to the terrible realization that this crime only represents
the tip of the iceberg for the ruthless Soneji. Along Came a Spider also
features Penelope Ann Miller, Jay O. Sanders, and Kim Hawthorne.| Morgan Freeman | Alex Cross |
