Plots(1)
Tobacco lobbyist Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the man charged with defending the public image of the much maligned cigarette industry. Blessed with the gift of the gab and an unstoppable ego the master of 'spin' won't let anything get in the way of a well-argued case. Confronted by bloodthirsty health fanatics and an opportunistic senator (William H. Macy), Naylor goes on a PR offensive until his new found notoriety earns him the attention of Big Tobacco's head honcho (Robert Duvall) and a smouldering young Washington reporter (Katie Holmes) who'll do anything to get her story! Suddenly put under pressure by his young son, Nick faces the biggest question of his career: is lying the most powerful addiction of all? (20th Century Fox UK)
