Written and directed by Oscar Winning Screenwriter Steven Gaghan (Traffic), Syriana is a political thriller that tracks several disparate characters across the globe as they find their lives impacted by the ruthless competition for incalculable power and wealth that drives the oil industry. A CIA agent, an oil broker, a Gulf prince, a company lawyer and a Pakistani teenager are all involved in the drama. The film tracks events from every corner of the global industry from top secret deals made in Washington to the exploited oil-field workers in the Persian Gulf.
