The Truman show - Andrew Niccol

Winner: Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay

Starring Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, the most famous face on television - only he doesn't know it. He is the unwitting star of a non-stop, 24-hour-a-day documentary soap opera called The Truman Show, with every moment of his life - including his birth - broadcast to a worldwide audience. Those he believes are his family and friends are really all actors. He is a prisoner in this made-for-TV paradise. This is the story of his escape.

Contains the original screenplay, production stills, full credits and an introduction by the director.
