Plot
Roger Ferris (Leonardo Dicaprio) is the best man U.S. Intelligence has on the ground, in place where human life is worth no moro than the information it can get you. In operations that take him around the globe from Middle East to Washington, Ferri's next breath often depends on the voice at the other end of a secure phone line - CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russel Crowe). Waging war from laptop in the suburbs, Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging terrorist leader who has orchestrated a campaign of bombings while eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. To lure the terrorist out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world, but the closer he gets to the target, the more he discovers that trust is both a dangerous commodity and the only one that will get him out alive.
