The Informant! (True Story, Whistleblower, Corporation, Conspiracy, Spy, Adaptation)
  
PLOT: A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company�s price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn�t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre�s ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real.
