A ghostwriter unwittingly becomes part of the story he is hired to tell in Roman Polanski’s acclaimed, precision-crafted political thriller, brilliantly adapted from the novel by Robert Harris. When he’s enlisted to help finish the memoirs of disgraced former British prime minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan, playing a thinly concealed Tony Blair) now living in exile in the U.S., a veteran ghostwriter (Ewan McGregor) seizes the opportunity. But as dark secrets emerge about Lang’s past, the writer begins to wonder: what really happened to his mysteriously deceased predecessor?
