Plot Summary for Syriana 


From writer/director Stephen Gaghan, winner of the
Best Screenplay Academy Award for Traffic, comes Syriana, a political
thriller that unfolds against the intrigue of the global oil industry.
From the players brokering back-room deals in Washington to the men
toiling in the oil fields of the Persian Gulf, the film's multiple
storylines weave together to illuminate the human consequences of the
fierce pursuit of wealth and power. As a career CIA operative (George
Clooney) begins to uncover the disturbing truth about the work he has
devoted his life to, an up-and-coming oil broker (Matt Damon) faces an
unimaginable family tragedy and finds redemption in his partnership
with an idealistic Gulf prince (Alexander Siddig). A corporate lawyer
(Jeffrey Wright) faces a moral dilemma as he finesses the questionable
merger of two powerful U.S. oil companies, while across the globe, a
disenfranchised Pakistani teenager (Mazhar Munir) falls prey to the
recruiting efforts of a charismatic cleric. Each plays their small part
in the vast and complex system that powers the industry, unaware of the
explosive impact their lives will have upon the world.

I highly recomend this film, it portrays a very accurate (in my opinion) image of the plight the middle east and the muslim world is in.
