Synopsis:

The FBI think they have a lead on an ongoing case of corporate crime when Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), one of the company’s top executives, acts as an informant and agrees to gather evidence. However, as the investigation unfolds, Whitacre’s spy aspirations and delusions of grandeur have the agents scratching their heads and trying to uncover the man’s real reasons for becoming a whistleblower. This movie is based on a true story.

Studio: Warner Brother Pictures

Director: Steven Soderbergh

Stars: Matt Damon, Tony Hale, Patton Oswalt

Content Information:

This additional information about the movie’s content is taken from the notes of various Canadian Film Classification boards:

Sexual Content:

- Use of sexual references.

Language:

- Frequent use of the sexual expletive and variations, once in a sexual context.

- Frequent use of profanity, scatological slang and vulgar expressions.

Of Special Note:

In Breach, a young FBI agent gets pulled into an intricate and dangerous investigation to uncover a double agent. And in A Beautiful Mind, a mathematical genius is convinced he is lending his talents to break up a conspiracy, but his family and friends instead fear he is mentally ill. Both of these movies are also based on true stories.

Studio: 2009 Warner Brother Pictures. Visit the official movie site.
