TrafficA contemporary thriller set in the high-stakes, high-risk world of drug trafficking. Told through a series of interrelated narratives, the stories range from the highly personal to those filled with intrigue and danger. A pair of undercover DEA agents (Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman) work in the sordid and dangerous world of San Diego dealers; a wealthy drug baron (Steven Bauer) living in upscale, suburban America is arrested and learns how quickly his unknowing and pampered wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) takes over his business; the U.S. president's new antidrug czar, an Ohio State Supreme Court Justice (Michael Douglas), must deal with his increasingly drug-addicted teenage daughter (Erika Christensen); and a Mexican policeman (Benicio Del Toro) finds himself caught in a web of corruption. Adapted from the 1989 U.K. miniseries Traffik.
