'''''The Game''''' is a movie centered around Nicholas van Orton ([[Michael Douglas]]), a bored, disillusioned businessman who spends his days in his office (complete with shower). His life is extremely well-ordered -- he has even driven out all romantic prospects (including one marriage) -- until the day his brother Conrad ([[Sean Penn]]) gives him a gift certificate for a group called [[Super Fun Happy Thing of Doom|Consumer Recreation Services]] that livens up their customers' lives by playing a potentially-dangerous game with them.
