Line 131:
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Vivian for Meryl. They look the same, dress the same, have the same hair; Christof clearly is a ''[[Informed Attribute|genius writer]]''.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Christof almost mocks Sylvia during their phone call by stating that Truman could leave at any time "if it was more than a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined." Sylvia banks on the latter happening, {{spoiler|and she's proven right.}}
* [[The Other Marty]]: Dennis Hopper had been cast as Christof, but left the film over creative differences with director Peter Weir.
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: One of the rare examples where the viewer is already in on it when the film opens, though the extent of how much is slowly revealed to the audience along with Truman.
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: It was originally supposed to actually be a twist; however the filmmakers decided a situation with [[Dramatic Irony]] was better. The trailers, posters, and even the name make it obvious. Despite this, [[Roger Ebert]] (being a critic, and thus treated to a screening before the advertising began) had the chance to see it without being spoiled, and complained about the advertising revealing the twist.
