Traffic

Steven Soderbergh's crime drama deservedly won international acclaim on release. It skilfully tells three intertwined tales chronicling aspects of America's war on drugs, following a controversial judge who makes a shocking discovery after being appointed to spearhead the campaign, two policemen in Mexico who pull out all the stops to halt a cocaine shipment, and the wife of a jailed mobster who resolves to regain control of his crumbling empire. Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Quaid, Don Cheadle and Miguel Ferrer star
