Body of Lies
Trust No One. Deceive Everyone.
He is the best man US Intelligence has on the ground, a sophisticated
operative negotiating hot zones while no one close to him makes it out alive.
But Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a man with no identity beyond his last
blown cover, trusting his life to the dispassionate voice on the other end of a
secure phone line.
CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) wages war from a laptop in his living
room in the suburbs, dictating Ferris’s movements even as he dodges bullets
on the ground. An emerging terrorist leader has orchestrated a global campaign
of bombings, eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in
the world.
To lure him out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate the world of
underground financing and desperate martyrs, and form a shaky alliance with the
head of Jordanian Special Ops. His quest takes him across Iraq, Jordan,
Washington and Dubai, but the closer Ferris gets to the target, the more he
finds himself caught in a hall of mirrors, where allies are only as good as
their last deception, and trust becomes the most dangerous tactic of all.
