ABSTRACT
Comprising multiple storylines concerning an attempted merger between two of the American oil industry's biggest players, Syriana is a typical George Clooney-led political character piece with a violent bent, following the disappearance of an American missile in hostile Iranian territory, an oil-rich Arabian emirate's awarding of an American-desired contract to a Chinese firm, and several other concerns to weave a tale of struggle over one of our planet's most sought-after natural resources.
