Based on the book by Robert Baer, "Syriana" is about "a 21-year veteran of the CIA, (who) spent his entire career investigating terrorists around the globe. As the dangers of terrorism increased, Baer watched as the CIA’s funding was cut, politics overtook judgment, and warning signs were ignored. But the struggle becomes personal when and oil executive and his wife are faced with a family tragedy."

Starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Amanda Peet, Chris Cooper, Tim Blake Nelson, and Jeffrey Wright, "Syriana" was produced by Clooney’s own ‘Section Eight’ production house, and will be distributed (on November 23rd) by Warner Bros.
