Plot Synopsis
“Corruption charges...corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulation. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the street. Corruption...is why we win.”
From writer/director Stephen Gaghan, winner of the Best Screenplay Academy Award for Traffic, comes SYRIANA, a political thriller that unfolds against the intrigues and corruption of the global oil industry. From the players brokering back-room deals in Washington to the men toiling in the oil fields of the Persian Gulf, the film’s multiple storylines weave together to illuminate the human consequences of the fierce pursuit of wealth and power.
George Clooney (also executive producer), Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, Mark Strong, Chris Cooper and Amanda Peet are part of an incredible cast that star as sheiks and field workers, government inspectors and international spies, rich and poor, the famous and infamous. Each person plays their small part in the vast and complex system that powers the industry, none realizing the true extent of the explosive impact their lives will have upon the world.
