The Informant movie, directed by Oscar-winning Steven Soderbergh is based on events that took place in the U.S. in the early 90's. Mark Whitaker, played by Matt Damon, is a prominent manager of agro-industrial corporation Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), who became clandestine informant engaged in biotechnology issues. "And all because Whitaker discovers that the leadership of a transnational company artificially boosted too high a price for the products and decides to tell all about the FBI. In order to expose the dishonest managers, the FBI need proof, which is why Whitaker gladly agrees to wear the special eavesdropping equipment. On the whole 4 years he becomes a "stool pigeon" for federal office. It would seem that the evidence collected and can bring a charge, but it turns out that Mark, always considered himself a virtue, exemplary American citizen, did not hesitate to take cash himself during the corrupt deals ADM. Naturally, charges against the corporation collapses like a house of cards and the system chooses now to Mark himself. Slicker Whitaker, who led the FVI agents to grand finale, ultimately deceived himself. Entangled in a lie, he tries to make himself a hero till the very end.
