Syriana Screensaver
|
Syriana Movie Story. The film takes place against the backdrop of an oil-producing Gulf country, where charismatic Prince Nasir (ALEXANDER SIDDIG) is seeking to change long-established relationships with U.S. business interests. Nasir, the apparent heir to the throne, has just granted natural gas drilling rights long held by Connex, a Texas oil company to a Chinese company that bid higher. This is a huge blow to Connex and American business interests in the Gulf. Killen, a smaller Texas oil company owned by Jimmy Pope (COOPER), has just won the drilling rights to coveted fields in Kazakhstan. This makes Killen a very attractive partner to Connex, who now needs new territory to maintain its production capacity. When the two companies merge, the pending deal attracts the scrutiny of the Justice Dept. Sloan Whiting, a powerful Washington law firm, is brought in to perform due diligence. Starring: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, Chris Cooper and William Hurt. |
