This paper initiates the study of rigidity for immersed, totally geodesic planes in hyperbolic 3-manifolds M of infinite volume. In the case of an acylindrical 3-manifold whose convex core has totally geodesic boundary, we show that the closure of any immersed geodesic plane is a properly immersed submanifold of M. On the other hand, we show that rigidity fails for quasifuchsian manifolds.
