Line 1: {{work}} {{Needs Image}} A complex film starring and produced by [[George Clooney]]. George Clooney plays an old, fat, burned-out CIA agent in the Middle East. His story is intertwined with that of a worker in Saudi Arabia who gets mixed up in terrorism, that of a prosperous arms dealer who has a nervous breakdown and changes his life when someone sabotages his swimming pool with deadly consequences, and that of the creation of an oil pipeline. They start separately, but all converge... This film was [[Based Very Loosely]] on a book written by a CIA agent -- so loosely that it was nominated for the [[Academy Award]] for Best Original Screenplay. It was popular with at least some critics, but it [[Box Office Bomb\|bombed]] in the box office. {{tropelist}} Line 22 ⟶ 24: * [[Unflinching Walk]]: Bob does this while a car blows up in the background. * [[Viewers Are Geniuses]] * [[What Might Have Been]]: [[Harrison Ford]] turned down the role of Bob Barnes (Hehe later said it was one of the only career decisions he's ever regretted) and [[Matt Damon]]'s part was written with [[Christian Bale]] in mind. {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 2000s]] [[Category:~~Syriana~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Academy Award]] [[Category:Films Based on Books]] [[Category:Film]]
