Whitacre is pressured into becoming a spy and his task is to find out everything he can, about the illegal price fixing his company is connected to. Although his tasks are perfectly clear, he starts tripping that he is a real FBI agent, and as he starts living this fixation, everything around him starts falling apart.

He becomes very dangerous for his company, his family starts suffering, and his life is in danger, because he forgets his true identity and embraces the imaginary one, 100% fictional.

Recommendation: No one can tell a story about people’s character better than Steven Soderbergh, and at the same time, no one can portray a confused “small” man better than Matt Damon. These two have created a must see movie, so be sure to watch it, once it comes to your nearest cinema!
