The Truman Show

(1998) Directed by Peter Weir. He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Truman (Jim Carrey) is a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have. [Drama | Comedy | Fantasy]
