| The Insider recounts the chain of
events that pitted an ordinary man against the tobacco industry, and
dragged two people into the fight of their lives. Academy AwardŽ-Winner
Al Pacino (Any Given Sunday, The Devil's Advocate) gives a powerful
performance as veteran 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman, and
Russell Crowe (L.A. Confidential, Mystery, Alaska) co-stars as the
ultimate insider, former tobacco executive DR. Jeffrey Wigand. When
Wigand is fired by his employer - one of the largest tobacco
companies in America - he agrees to become a paid consultant for a
story Bergman is working on regarding alleged unethical practises
within the tobacco industry. But what begins as a temporary alliance
leads to a lengthy battle for both men to save their reputations,
and much, much more. As they soon find out, Corporate America will
use all legal means at their disposal to save a
billion-dollar-a-year habit. And as the corporate giants soon find
out, Bergman and Wigand are honorable men, driven to smoke out the
evidence. Also starring Christopher Plummer (Malcolm X) as anchor
Mike Wallace and Gina Gershon (Face/Off). The Insider will chill you
with its cold, hard edge - and thrill you with its unbelievable
twists and turns. |
