Celluloid Critics Consensus
What is Cape Fear about?
After seventeen years behind bars for a crime he swears he didn't commit, Max Cady is released and sets his sights on the Savannah attorneys he blames for his ruin. In a digital-age remake of the classic revenge thriller — executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg — deepfakes, bot farms, and family paranoia turn a personal feud into a full psychological war.
