“Guerrilla camerawork and bravura acting fuse to create a realism not unlike the edgy, off-kilter work of Cassavetes”—Zadie Smith, The Telegraph

Syriana

Wed, Jan 17, 2024
Directed by Stephen Gaghan (2005)
With George Clooney, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright

A single deal reverberates from the halls of Washington, DC to the oil fields in Kazakhstan in this political thriller from Academy Award-winner Stephen Gaghan (Traffic). Against the backdrop of the Middle Eastern oil industry, Syriana weaves together multiple storylines—including Jeffrey Wright as an ambitious American lawyer in charge of a dubious merger and George Clooney as a CIA agent caught up in an assassination plot—into a rich tapestry of revenge, loss, ambition, and betrayal.
