1998

Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is the star of "The Truman Show," a 24-hour-a-day cultural TV phenomenon that broadcasts every aspect of his life ... live and in color -- without his knowledge or consent. When Truman discovers by happenstance that his life is a sham for public consumption, he makes a desperate escape bid.

All the world's a stage...
