Insomnia is a 2002 American psychological thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank. It is a remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. The film was released on 24 May 2002.
In the small fishing town of Nightmute, Alaska, a local 17-year-old girl named Kay Connell (Crystal Lowe) is found murdered. Two LAPD detectives, Will Dormer (Al Pacino) and Hap Eckhart (Martin Donovan) are sent up to assist the local police with their investigation.
Concurrently, an intense Internal Affairs investigation back in Los Angeles is about to put Dormer under the microscope; Eckhart, reveals that Internal Affairs has offered him an immunity deal in exchange for his testimony regarding one of Dormer's past cases. Dormer tries to talk Eckhart out of it, but Eckhart, apparently complicit to some degree in Dormer's misdeeds, says that ultimately he must look out for himself and his family first, so he feels he has no choice but to accept the deal.
Focusing on the Nightmute case, Dormer comes up with a clever plan to lure the murderer back to the scene of the crime; however, the stakeout attempt is blown, and the murder suspect flees into the fog, forcing the police to spread out and search for him on foot. During the pursuit, Dormer sees a figure through the fog, which he believes to be the armed murder suspect. He fires, and the figure collapses, but when Dormer approaches, he discovers that he has mistakenly shot Eckhart; Dormer then runs to Eckhart's aid, only to find he believes that Dormer shot him to prevent him from testifying, causing him to turn away in fear before succumbing to his wounds. Given the nature of Eckhart's impending testimony, Dormer knows that Internal Affairs will never believe that the shooting was accidental, causing him to alter the crime scene before crying for help. Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), a young police officer and Dormer's biggest fan, is put in charge of the investigation into Eckhart's shooting, which causes Dormer to use his influence and reputation to try and mislead her into believing the suspect killed Eckhart.
Dormer finds himself becoming mentally unstable due to guilt over killing Eckhart and the resultant insomnia (which is further exacerbated by the perpetual daylight). Dormer then starts receiving anonymous phone calls from the suspect, who claims to have witnessed Dormer kill his partner, and knows of his attempts to cover it up. Dormer is aware that Kay was a fan of a crime writer named Walter Finch (Robin Williams), and books autographed by him were found among her possessions; this then leads Dormer to believe that Finch is somehow involved, so he breaks into his apartment to gather evidence, only to be discovered by Finch. After a pursuit ending in Finch's escape, Dormer is contacted by him, and agrees to meet him in public; Finch then offers Dormer a deal, where Dormer is to frame Kay's abusive boyfriend Randy Stetz (Jonathan Jackson) for the murder in exchange for Finch's silence about the Eckhart shooting, forcing Dormer to choose between destroying his own reputation and allowing an innocent man to be sent to prison.
Meanwhile, Burr finds some inconsistencies in Dormer's testimony; she finds a 9mm shell casing at the scene (which conflicts with the bullet type believed to be found in the body), and believes that the direction the suspect fled is improbable. Finch, under Dormer's instruction, gives false testimony at the station, which, along with a weapon planted by Finch, effectively places blame on Randy. Back at the station, Finch offers to give Burr letters indicating Randy's abuse of Kay, and asks her to come and collect evidence from his second, isolated home the next day.
Dormer returns to his hotel for one last night, where he confides with the hotel owner about the investigation in which Eckhart was to testify; he reveals that he fabricated evidence to help convict a pedophile he was certain was guilty (and who would have been set free should Eckhart have testified).
Upon returning to Finch's apartment, Dormer discovers that Finch has gone to meet Burr without his evidence, and realises that he intends to kill her. Meanwhile, Burr discovers the murder victim's dress, and is struck by Finch, knocking her unconscious. Dormer, suffering fatigue from his insomnia, eventually reaches the cabin and struggles to fight Finch. Burr eventually saves Dormer from Finch, who flees outside to cover; Burr, however, holds Dormer at gunpoint, revealing that she knows he shot Eckhart and demands to know whether he did it on purpose. Dormer admits that he shot his partner, but claims he is no longer certain if it was an accident or not. From the protection of his shed, Finch fires at them with a shotgun and Dormer devises a plan; while Burr distracts him with gunfire, Dormer sneaks around to Finch's location. When Dormer reaches Finch, a struggle ensues, which ends with them shooting each other, killing Finch.
Burr rushes to the detective's aid, and then comforts Dormer by affirming that Eckhart's shooting was accidental, and tries to toss the shell casing evidence. Dormer stops Burr, telling her not to lose her way, before saying "just let me sleep" as he dies. After a brief moment of contemplation, Burr decides to slip the shell casing back into its plastic evidence bag.
