"Breathtakingly stylish." -New York Post
Traffic examines the effect of drugs as politics, business, and lifestyle.
Acting as his own director of photography, Steven Soderbergh employs an
innovative, color-coded cinematic treatment to distinguish the interwoven
stories of a newly appointed drug czar and his family, a West Coast kingpin's
wife, a key informant, and cops on both sides of the U.S./ Mexican border.
Rarely has a film so energetic and suspenseful presented a more complex and
nuanced view of an issue of such international importance. Instantly recognized
as a classic, Traffic appeared on more than 200 critics' ten-best-lists, and
earned 5 Academy Award® nominations.
