Hide and Seek is a 2005 American psychological thriller film directed by John Polson and starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning. Albert Hughes was initially signed to direct, making his debut as a solo director, but he left due to creative differences. The film opened in the United States on January 28, 2005, and grossed $127 million worldwide. Rotten Tomatoes cited praise for De Niro and Fanning for their performances, although its consensus called the film "derivative, illogical and somewhat silly".
