THE PACIFIER
Release Date: March 4, 2005
Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures
Director: Adam Shankman
Cast: Vin Diesel, Lauren Graham, Faith Ford, Brittany Snow, MaxTheriot,
Morgan York, with Carol Kane and Brad Garrett
Synopsis:
Vin Diesel redefines what it means to be an action hero in the heartwarming
family action-comedy THE PACIFIER. Diesel stars as Navy SEAL Shane
Wolfe who, as an elite member of the world’s fiercest and
most highly trained force thought he was prepared to take on any
duty no matter how perilous or impossible . . . until he tried baby-sitting.
Assigned to protect the five out-of-control children of an assassinated
scientist working on vital government secrets, Shane is suddenly
faced with juggling two outrageously incompatible jobs: fighting
the bad guys while keeping house. Replacing his usual arsenal of
wet suits and weapons with diapers and juice boxes, Shane not only
must battle a deceptive enemy but wrangle teen rebel Zoe (BRITTANY
SNOW), sullen 14 year-old Seth (MAX THERIOT), 8 year-old Ninja-wanna-be
Lulu (MORGAN YORK), as well as 3 year-old Peter and baby Tyler–
not to mention their off-beat Romanian Nanny (CAROL KANE). But while
drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally
to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his
courage against diapering, den-mothering and driver’s education.
He’s truly a SEAL out of water, and no wit’s up to this
one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his
life: keeping a family together.

Post journalist. His editor provocatively sends him to South Africa
to cover the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings, in which
the perpetrators of murder and torture on both sides during the
Apartheid era are invited to come forward and confront their victims.
By telling the unvarnished truth and expressing contrition, they
may be granted amnesty. Can the deep wounds of Apartheid be healed
through reconciliation? Langston is deeply sceptical. He tracks
down Col. De Jager, the most notorious torturer in the SA Police
and tries to penetrate the mind of a monster, an experience that
obliges him to confront his own demons. Anna Malan (Binoche), is
an Afrikaans poet who is covering the hearings for radio. As a white
South African she is shattered by the accounts of the cruelty and
depravity committed by her fellow countrymen. Anna and Langston
must both question their sense of identity. Where do they each belong?
How responsible are they for what is done in the name of their respective
countries? The moving testimony of the victims affects them deeply.
In different ways they are both estranged from their families, and
their shared experience draws them ever closer to each other. It
is a story charting the unfathomable depths of human cruelty and
the redeeming power of forgiveness and love.
