In the early 1990s, Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) is a rising star at the agri-business powerhouse Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois. After Whitacre exposes his company to a multi-national price-fixing conspiracy, the FBI needs evidence concerning the conspiracy and convinces Whitacre to wear a wire along with a tape recorder in his briefcase while attending meetings around the world. The result is one of the FBI's largest price-fixing cases, but Whitacre's own misdeeds lead to his world crashing around him, and he is convicted of price-fixing, money laundering, wire fraud, and tax fraud and sentenced to a nine-year prison term. Based on a true story.
