This political thriller weaves multiple storylines to highlight the consequences of pursuing wealth and power. A CIA agent (George Clooney in an Oscar-winning role) is sent to assassinate an Arabic prince but the mission goes horribly wrong. He finds himself the scapegoat and realises that he has been lied to, never fully aware of the motivation behind the assignments he has been given over the years. Matt Damon stars as an energy analyst whose son dies while he is a guest of the prince. Contains strong violence and language.
