The Missing is a 2003 American Western film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett. It is based on Thomas Eidson's 1996 novel The Last Ride. Set in 1885 New Mexico Territory, the film is notable for the authentic use of the Apache language by various actors, some of whom spent long hours studying it.[4] It was produced by Revolution Studios, Imagine Entertainment, and Daniel Ostroff Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures (Sony Pictures Releasing).[5] The film received mixed reviews from critics.
