The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt and Christopher Lee. It follows Police Sergeant Neil Howie as he investigates the disappearance of a young girl named Rowan Morrison on the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle.
