Starring Ian McKellen. Directed by Bill Condon.

In 1947, Sherlock Holmes, long-retired, lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son.

He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife. With his legendary mental powers on the wane, and without his old sidekick Watson, Holmes is faced with the toughest case of his life - a case that might finally reveal to him the mysteries of the human heart.
