In a world where trust is a weapon and deception is survival, Body of Lies (2008) plunges into the heart of modern warfare — not on the battlefield, but in the shadows.
CIA operative Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is stationed in the Middle East, racing against time to track down a high-ranking terrorist believed to be planning a series of deadly attacks. Operating in a world of shifting loyalties and hidden agendas, Ferris must rely on satellite surveillance, informants, and his own instincts to stay alive.

Guided — and manipulated — by his boss back in Langley, the cynical and coldly strategic Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe), Ferris is thrust into a high-stakes game of espionage. To flush out the elusive target, he devises a dangerous ruse involving fake terrorist cells and misinformation. But as the lies stack up and trust erodes, Ferris finds himself questioning who the real enemy is — and whether the cost of victory is worth the price of his soul.

Directed by Ridley Scott, Body of Lies is a gripping political thriller that explores the moral gray zones of intelligence, the clash between ideals and realpolitik, and the human toll of fighting a war in the shadows.
