Nick Naylor is a charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who'll fight to protect America's right to smoke -- even if it kills him -- while still remaining a role model for his 12-year old son. When he incurs the wrath of a senator bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick's powers of "filtering the truth" will be put to the test.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A razor-sharp satire that finds comedy in the audacity of a tobacco lobbyist's moral flexibility and rhetorical gymnastics. It's both an admiring and damning portrait of how charisma and argumentation can obscure truth, held together by a surprisingly tender father-son relationship.
