Peter and Chloe, a young married couple from New York, decide on impulse to take a belated honeymoon on-board a research vessel en route to the icy wastes of Antarctica. Not long into the journey, Chloe begins to feel neglected and betrayed by Peter, who is focused on gathering information for an article he plans to publish on their return about the work of one of their fellow passengers, the whale biologist Roger Payne. After an unforgivable betrayal of trust by Peter, Chloe turns their fledgling marriage upside down by moving into her own room and staking out her independence onboard the ship. Drawing attention to the poles within each of us, the impressionistic story oscillates between the super-confined interiors of the ship and the vast open spaces of Antarctica. In the end, it's not until Chloe and Peter are lost - perhaps literally, perhaps metaphorically - in the Antarctic ice that they discover how essential one is to the other.

Zatiaľ čo pre jednu z nich sa stali chatrče okolo kostolíka domovom, druhá túži utiecť z miesta, kde vládne prísny poriadok diktovaný kňazom, ktorého komunita slepo poslúcha. Nie je ťažké objaviť paralely s nedávnou históriou autorovej vlasti, hoci interpretácia zložitého a nejednoznačne vyznievajúceho príbehu je ponechaná na divákovi.

Jak mohou dosvědčit fanoušci Nelítostného souboje, Serpica či Moře lásky, role drsných, odhodlaných detektivů nejsou Al Pacinovi cizí. Ve filmu Na lovu se ovšem noří do ještě bouřlivějších vod, neboť se jako newyorský policista infiltruje do temné sadomasochistické subkultury, aby odhalil sériového vraha homosexuálů. Stále kontroverzní a stále strhující detektivka, vtahující diváky do svého nebezpečného a přesto fascinujícího světa, je dílem Williama Friedkina (Vymítač ďábla, Francouzská spojka), který se vedle režie podepsal i pod scenáristickou adaptaci románu Geralda Walkera. Naprostým vrcholem filmu ovšem zůstává herecký výkon Al Pacina v roli muže, jehož vlastní identitu a vztahy vyšetřování případu poznamená navždy.
