Syriana is a 2005 Academy Award-winning geopolitical thriller film written and directed by Stephen Gaghan. Like Gaghan's screenplay for Traffic, Syriana uses multiple storylines to portray global themes. Syriana focuses on the influence of the oil industry, whose political, economic, legal, and social effects are experienced by a CIA operative (George Clooney), an energy analyst (Matt Damon), an attorney (Jeffrey Wright), and a young unemployed Pakistani migrant worker in an Arab Persian Gulf country (Mazhar Munir).
Gaghan's screenplay is loosely adapted from Robert Baer's memoir, See No Evil. George Clooney was one of the film's executive producers. In his review, film critic Roger Ebert suggests that the film is an example of hyperlink cinema. As of April 20, 2006, the film grossed a total of 50.82 million dollars in the domestic box office*. It was released on DVD on June 20, 2006.
Overview
The film is told through parallel stories and jumps from location to location, ranging from Texas, to Washington D.C., to Switzerland, and through the Middle East. More on [ Syriana ]
