TRAITOR (2008)
SYNOPSIS
Academy Award® nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel
Rwanda, Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A.
Confidential) star in Traitor, a taut international thriller
set against a jigsaw puzzle of covert counter-
espionage operations. Traitor is written and directed
by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After
Tomorrow). When straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton
(Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a
dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to
lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer,
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a
web of connections to suspect organizations, Horn has
a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major
operation goes down. The inter-agency task force
looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels),
a veteran CIA contractor who seemingly has his own
agenda and Max Archer (Neal McDonough), a fellow FBI
agent. The task force links Horn to a bombing in Nice
and a raid in London, but a tangle of contradictory
evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether
his quarry is a MAN WITHOUT LOYALTIES—or
something far more complicated. Obsessed with
discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the
globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and
deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue.
