'Syriana'

Here's a terrific 2005 political thriller starring George Clooney, also featuring Chris Cooper, Christopher Plummer, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, William Hurt, Amanda Peet, Mark Strong, and Max Minghella, among others.

That's a lot of great actors.

George Clooney won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The film is loosely based on Robert Baer's 2003 memoir "See No Evil."

It was shot in 200 locations on five continents, with large parts shot in the Middle East, Washington, D.C., and Africa.

As with writer-director Stephen Gaghan's screenplay for "Traffic," Syriana uses multiple parallel storylines, jumping among locations in Iran, Texas, Washington, D.C., Switzerland, Spain, and Lebanon.
