What if someone you knew just... disappeared? Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep and Alan Arkin star a harrowing thriller-a story that could happen to anyone today-a tale of Rendition. When an Egyptian engineer disappears on a flight from Africa to Washington, D.C., his American wife (Academy Award winner Witherspoon-Walk the Line) and a CIA analyst (Academy Award nominee Gyllenhaal-Brokeback Mountain) who witnesses his torture find their ordered worlds spinning out of control and themselves caught in a struggle to secure his release from a secret detention facility somewhere in the Middle East.
