The Insider is the true-life drama of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances. Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe) is a former tobacco research VP turned industry whistle blower, revealing a scandalous corporate secret. Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) is the CBS 60 Minutes journalist and producer who tapes Wigand’s interview with its devastating testimony.

But the interview falls victim to corporate subversion. Despite Bergman’s fight to air Wigand’s incriminating evidence, CBS executives cut the interview, fearing a tobacco company lawsuit. Bergman resigns from CBS. Wigand, who has wagered so much, is sued, targeted in a national smear campaign, divorced, and faces possible incarceration. Watch the movie trailer.
