Syriana
Stephen Gaghan (screenwriter of 'Traffic') directs this labyrinthine story of corruption in the global oil industry, based partly on the writings of ex-CIA case officer Robert Baer. George Clooney is jaded CIA agent Bob Barnes, assigned one last case, to assassinate independence-minded oil baron Prince Nasir. Putting a human face on complex world events this intricate and enthralling story weaves in dozens of characters yet never loses itself. A powerhouse cast includes Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, William Hurt, Christopher Plummer and Amanda Peet to name a few.
