What if your whole life was a lie?
The Truman Show dares to explore that haunting question. This thought-provoking film follows Truman Burbank, an ordinary man living an extraordinary lie: his entire life is a reality TV show, and he’s the only one who doesn’t know it.
Jim Carrey delivers a surprising and powerful performance, shedding his usual comedic skin to portray a man slowly unraveling the truth of his existence. The film's brilliance lies in its subtle build-up — tiny cracks in Truman’s perfect world that hint at a much bigger deception.
The story is both a psychological thriller and a philosophical reflection on freedom, identity, and media control. Ed Harris, as the creator of the show, presents a chilling yet oddly sympathetic antagonist who believes Truman is “safer” in the fabricated world.
