Directed by: Peter Weir

Synopsis: Police detective John Book (Harrison Ford) goes undercover with the Amish to protect a boy named Samuel (Lukas Haas), the only eyewitness to a brutal murder.

Kitty Cameos: In one scene, Samuel shows John the grain silo. He then picks up a tabby kitten with white paws and hands it to John, asking, “Would you like to hold my kitten?” John takes the kitten with some trepidation.

Samual then picks up a second tabby kitten, holding it prone and showing how to give the animal a backrub. The kitten protests at first.
