“The Hunt” (Kẻ săn mồi) is a 2012 Danish psychological drama that sparked controversy due to its intense subject matter. The film centers around Lucas, a kindergarten teacher in a small Danish town. Lucas is falsely accused of molesting a young girl, which sets off a chain reaction of suspicion and condemnation among the tight-knit community.

Despite Lucas’s vehement denials and lack of evidence, the accusation quickly spreads, causing him to become an outcast. His life rapidly unravels as he faces ostracism, hostility, and even violence from those who once trusted him. The film explores the devastating impact of false accusations, mob mentality, and the breakdown of trust and relationships within a community.

As Lucas struggles to clear his name and reclaim his life, “The Hunt” delves into complex themes of justice, innocence, and the fragility of social bonds. It is acclaimed for its powerful performances, particularly by Mads Mikkelsen in the role of Lucas, and its poignant exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature under pressure.
