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 LowelI Bergman, and RusseIl Crowe co-stars as the ultimate insider, former tobacco executive Dr. Jeffery Wigand. When Wigand is fired by his employer -- one of the Iargest tobacco companies in America -- he agrees to become a paid consuItant for a story Bergman is working on regarding aIleged unethical practices within the tobacco industry. But what begins as a temporary aIliance leads to a lengthy battIe for both men to save their reputations, and much, much more.
As they soon find out, Corporate America will use alI IegaI means at their disposal to save a biIIion-doIlar-a-year habit. And as the corporate giants soon find out, Bergman and Wigand are honorable men, driven to smoke out the evidence.
AIso starring Christopher Plummer as anchor Mike Wallace and Gina Gershon , The lnsider wiIl chilI you with its cold, hard edge -- and thriIl you with its unbelievabIe twists and turns. |
