A striking portrait of drifters and seekers in post World War II America, Paul Thomas
Anderson's THE MASTER unfolds the journey of a Naval veteran, Freddie (Joaquin
Phoenix), who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future until he is
tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour
Hoffman). Amy Adams plays Dodd's wife, Peggy.
