Burn After Reading

  • Log in or register to post comments

In the frantic city of Washington D.C., a former CIA agent finds himself at a crossroads after being fired. At the same time, two gym employees, Chad and Linda, accidentally stumble upon a hard drive containing the ex-agent's confidential information. Unaware of what they have on their hands, they decide to try to make the most of the “valuable material,” seeking easy money and a bit of excitement in their monotonous lives.

Meanwhile, the ex-agent, dealing with his own personal and marital issues, becomes the center of a clumsy espionage network that gradually spirals into chaos. As Chad and Linda attempt to negotiate the information they found, their plans disastrously fall apart, even involving a couple of additional characters: a spy living underground and some advisors with agendas tailored to their convenience.

With an air of dark comedy, the story showcases how ambitions and incompetence can lead to ridiculous and dangerous situations. The plot unfolds through misunderstandings, unexpected twists, and sharp humor, highlighting the absurdity of espionage and the lack of communication. In the end, the outlandish decisions of everyone involved intersect in a devastatingly hilarious way, leaving the audience with a reflection on life, loyalty, and the consequences of being a little clumsy in a world full of secrets.
