Fair Game Movie Synopsis

A suspense-filled glimpse into the dark corridors of political power, FAIR GAME is a riveting action-thriller based on the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), whose career was destroyed and marriage strained to its limits when her covert identity was exposed by a politically motivated press leak.

As a covert officer in the CIA's Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie's husband, diplomat Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe writes a New York Times editorial outlining his conclusions and ignites a firestorm of controversy.

  My favourite Cindy Crawford movie.

  Very good movie. The movie shows how scary the goverment can be and how the media is never teh best source for information.

  I'm not up on my facts or nothing but if there's one thing you do see in this movie is how governments can corrupt individuals and manipulate others. Scary on fact of reality... :\
