Syriana Movie Story. Bob Barnes (CLOONEY) is a veteran CIA agent nearing the end of a long career, with a son headed for college (MINGHELLA) and the possibility of spending the latter days of his service in a boring desk job. A devoted company man, Bob’s always been a true believer that his work benefits his government and makes his country a better and safer place to live in. In Bob’s last assignment, an assassination of two arms dealers in Tehran, a Stinger missile falls into the hands of a mysterious Egyptian. On his return to Washington, Bob is promised a promotion after one last undercover mission -- killing Prince Nasir. But when one of his field contacts turns on him and the assassination attempt goes terribly awry, Bob is scapegoated by the CIA, betrayed by the organization to which he has devoted his life. As he searches to understand what has happened, he begins to realize that he has been lied to -- used as a pawn and never informed about the real motivation for the missions he has blindly carried out for years. Starring: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, Chris Cooper and William Hurt. |
