DUPLICITY (2009)
SYNOPSIS
Oscar® winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen reunite
for Duplicity, from writer/director Tony Gilroy (seven-
time Oscar®-nominated Michael Clayton).
In the film, they star as spies-turned-corporate
operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair.
When they find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes
espionage game, they discover the toughest part of the
job is deciding how much to trust the one you love.
CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent
Ray Koval (Owen) have
left the world of government intelligence to cash in on
the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival
multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the
formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the
company that patents it first.
For their employers—industry titan Howard Tully (Tom
Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (Paul
Giamatti)— nothing is out of bounds. But as the stakes
rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier,
the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing
attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-
cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes
endangered by the only thing they can’t cheat their way
out of: love. --©Universal
