THE INFORMANT!

What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre (Matt Damon) suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself

being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent.

Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn't been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre's ever-changing account frustrates the agents (Scott Bakula and Joel McHale) and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes

almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre's rambling imagination.

Academy Award® winner Matt Damon ("Good Will Hunting," the "Bourne" movies) stars in "The Informant!," based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history. Co-starring Scott Bakula, Joel McHale and Melanie Lynskey, the film was directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh ("Traffic," "Ocean's Thirteen") from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns, based on the book The Informant (A True Story), written by Kurt Eichenwald.

A Warner Bros. Release, THE INFORMANT! opens commercially in San Diego on September 18th.
