About this product

Product Information

Based on the article The Man Who Knew Too Much, THE INSIDER depicts the true story of Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), a successful scientist who is fired from the Brown & Williamson tobacco company for objecting to certain lab tests. He signs a confidentiality agreement to ease the company's nervousness, but when hotshot 60 MINUTES producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) recruits Wigand to help him decipher some technical documents, he realizes that there's a bigger story hiding inside Wigand. Eventually Bergman convinces him to break the agreement and sit for an interview with Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer). The resulting media frenzy causes Wigand to lose the support of his family and forces Bergman to confront the harsh reality of his business. Additionally, Wigand is recruited by the state of Mississippi to testify on its behalf that cigarettes are, in fact, addictive. To pay the rent, he begins teaching high school chemistry, waiting for Bergman to convince the network to air the piece. Buckling under corporate pressure, CBS pulls the plug, which sparks Bergman to leak information to the press. As Wigand deals with his personal dilemma, Bergman battles the corporation that begins to show its true colors. Both men must decide for themselves if they've made the right choices.<BR><BR>Like his other films THIEF, MANHUNTER, and HEAT, director Michael Mann takes on the theme of a man trying to do the right thing while trapped by circumstances that could destroy him. Once again Mann pulls terrific performances from his entire cast. Crowe is outstanding as Jeff Wigand, the beleaguered insider who risks everything for the truth. Pacino is suitably tenacious as the once-radical producer Bergman, and Christopher Plummer is excellent as news anchor Mike Wallace. With its brilliant performances and stunning cinematography, THE INSIDER is an emotionally intense film that reveals the consequences of standing up for the truth.

  • The truth is out

    This movie is based on the True life story of Jeffery Wigand(played by Russel Crowe) who blew the whistle on the big tobacco corporations. Al Pacino also stars in this movie as Lowell Bergman a TV producer who helps out Dr. Wigand. Awesome movie. Makes a great addition to the Russel Crowe collection.

  • THE INSIDER

    AN EXCELLENT FILM (BASED ON A TRUE TRUE STORY) DEPICTING THE THE WAR BETWEEN THE LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS. WHAT I DISLIKED ABOUT THIS WHOLE AFFAIR IS THAT THE NEWS CHANNEL CBS WERE AFRAID TO TELL THE PUBLIC THE TRUTH DUE TO "LEGAL REASONS"!!! SURELY IT'S A GROSS VIOLATION OF FREEWILL IF ANY NEWS CHANNEL IS AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. THE DARK SIDE OF TOBACCO SCIENCE TOOK MUCH SACRIFICE TO BRING DOWN. THE DARK SIDE OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND THE MOBILE PHONE INDUSTRY STILL PREVAIL OVER THE TRUTH. "TRUTH THOUGH BANISHED BY THE DARK SIDE SHALL COME AGAIN WITH GREATER POWER, AND THE TRUTH SHALL SUBJUGATE THE WORLD" UNKNOWN SOURCE

  • smoking withdraw

    A Great thriller with russell Crowe starring as an ex researcher for an cigarette manufacturer who is fired and decides to speak out about the dangers of cigarettes to the mass American public on 60 minutes. He contacts an producer on the show who is played brilliantly by Al Pacino. His former employers will not take this lying down and they do all they can to stop him speaking out. A superb thriller which leaves you guessing through the film and shows what one man can do against even the biggest companies. The movie is also given extra meaning by the fact that it is based on a true story. The only negative about the dvd was that thier wasn't many dvd extras but this could be rectify in later editions.
