Short description
The Middle Eastern oil industry is the backdrop of this tense drama, which weaves together numerous story lines. Bennett Holiday is an American lawyer in charge of facilitating a dubious merger of oil companies, while Bryan Woodman, a Switzerland-based energy analyst, experiences both personal tragedy and opportunity during a visit with Arabian royalty. Meanwhile, veteran CIA agent Bob Barnes uncovers an assassination plot with unsettling origins.

What's left behind the scenes

  • "Siriana" is a geopolitical term used by the CIA to designate Middle Eastern regions hostile to the United States.
  • For his role in the film, George Clooney gained over 10 kg (22 lbs) on a special "pasta diet," but refused the director's suggestion to shave his head. These experiments with his own weight caused Clooney health problems: he injured his back while performing one of the stunts and suffered from headaches for a long time.
  • The film's screenplay is based on a book by former CIA agent Robert Baer. He appears in a cameo as one of the CIA agents in the film.
  • Michelle Monaghan was originally cast to play Bob's wife in the film, but the director cut all scenes with her participation during final editing.
