"A Comedic Masterpiece" -Larry King

OVERVIEW: Intelligence is relative in this hilarious new spy comedy from Joel and Ethan Coen, the Academy Award(R) -winning directors of No Country for Old Men and The Big Lebowski. Academy Award(R) winners George Clooney and Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Academy Award(R) winner Tilda Swinton star in this brilliantly clever and endlessly entertaining comedy of errors.

SYNOPSIS: When a disc filled with some of the CIA's most irrelevant secrets gets in the hands of two determined, but dim-witted, gym employees, the duo are intent on exploiting their find.
