Burn After Reading

When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have a life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.

“We just said, ‘Let’s do a spy movie,’ I think mostly because we had never done one before… [but] the final result was more of a character‑driven film than a spy story. Burn After Reading was not meant to be a comment or satire on Washington.”

Joel Coen, Director
