Burn After Reading
"Burn after reading! Destroy after reading!" should actually be the instruction for reading the memoirs of suspended CIA agent Ozzie Cox (John Malkovich). But fitness trainer Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) and her handsome but somewhat dim-witted colleague Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) naturally don't dream of this when they accidentally find a CD with the obviously explosive manuscript in the changing room of their club. The two smell big business with secret state affairs. However, nobody could have guessed that the love affairs of the sexually active government official Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) would hinder the blackmail attempts. Soon a whole horde of various secret services are hot on the heels of the amateur blackmailers. And then the Russians come into the picture...
