Peter Weir (Fearless, Witness) directed this paranoia fable, scripted by Andrew M. Niccol (Gattaca). Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is the most famous face on television-only he doesn't know it. He is the unwitting star of a non-stop 24-hour-a-day documentary soap opera. Every moment of his life is recorded by concealed cameras and broadcast to an international audience. Truman's friends, his family, and everyone around him is an actor-and he's a prisoner in this made-for-tv paradise. How can he escape? Filmed in Florida and LA.
