Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Megan Stewart, 14, and her best friend Amy Herman, 13, though opposites in personality, are best friends. Megan carries the front of being the most popular girl in school, but this masks a lifestyle of hard partying, drugs, alcohol and indiscriminate sex. Amy, unpopular and socially awkward, clings to her relationship with Megan as a lifeline to social acceptance. Together, these two young girls forge a deep friendship based on their mutual needs. The two girls regularly communicate by web chat cameras or cell phone, and even meet boys online. As Megan seeks friends who are different from her usual posse of hanger-ons, she is introduced by a friend online to a 17 year-old boy named Josh in a chat room. Megan and Josh bond quickly, leaving Amy feeling a bit left out. One day, Megan goes to meet Josh in person, and she is never seen again. Amy launches into a concentrated effort to find her friend. As the media swirls around the story of Megan's disappearance, Amy discovers the ... Written by Michael Goi

When the news reporter is covering the "pink ribbon" movement for Megan and Amy, she says that Amy is 15 years old. In fact, Amy had just turned 14 a couple of weeks prior, and it was Megan who would have been turning 15 just a few months later. See more »Quotes

Unsettling, yes, disturbing, yes. But even though this isn't the film I thought it would be when i picked it up at my local video store, i was intrigued and mesmerized by what this movie's subject matter really dealt with. Sure, people are bashing on the film for it's content because it is, probably the most disturbing film ever made, but even so, I think that those involved in the making of this film weren't overall trying to make a buck out of a gruesome situation. I think they were passionate about getting the message out there to people who don't realize, THESE THINGS DO HAPPEN!!!! Sure not every online predator has the intentions that are shown in this film, but to all the haters out there wishing cruel things upon the crew and those involved in the making of this film, completely missed the point of this film. Simply put, believe it or not, there ARE people like the predator depicted in this film out there, and more than likely, a lot more than people realize. This movie truly moved me, and opened my eyes to a truth most of us are unaware of or even consider half the time: the true harshness's people can be capable of. 'Megan Is Missing' is the most real experience of evil, that even Hollywood hasn't been able to make a film worthy of comparison. I have never felt the feelings I felt while watching the last 22 minutes of this film, and I'm pretty positive I'll never forget them either. I award this film 10 stars out of 10 because 'Megan Is Missing is hands-down the most brutally honest, daring, and important film ever made, with a message that exceeds it's 80-some minute runtime. I believe everyone should see this film, even if you have a weak stomach. As harsh as this film is, it may just save someone's life.
