Traffic
2000
In three interwoven vignettes, Traffic offers disturbing snapshots of America's drug war. Drug czar Michael Douglas sees his life turned upside down when the drug problem hits home, while Tijuana cop Benicio Del Toro tries to keep his hands clean -- and stay alive. Meanwhile, Drug Enforcement Agency operatives arrest a major dealer, forcing his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to take over the family business.
It's a dirty, dirty war! And no one comes away clean
