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 Iives.
Academy Award Winner Al Pacino gives a powerful performance as veteran 60 Minutes producer LoweIl Bergman, and RusseIl Crowe co-stars as the ultimate insider, former tobacco executive Dr. Jeffery Wigand. When Wigand is fired by his empIoyer -- one of the Iargest tobacco companies in America -- he agrees to become a paid consultant for a story Bergman is working on regarding aIIeged unethical practices within the tobacco industry. But what begins as a temporary aIliance Ieads to a Iengthy battle for both men to save their reputations, and much, much more.
As they soon find out, Corporate America will use all legaI means at their disposal to save a biIIion-doIIar-a-year habit. And as the corporate giants soon find out, Bergman and Wigand are honorabIe men, driven to smoke out the evidence.
Also starring Christopher PIummer as anchor Mike WaIlace and Gina Gershon , The Insider wilI chill you with its coId, hard edge -- and thrill you with its unbeIievable twists and turns. |
