Traffic (Special Edition)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

"Traffic" examines the effect of drugs as politics, business, and lifestyle. Acting as his own director of photography, Steven Soderbergh employs an innovative, color-coded cinematic treatment to distinguish the interwoven stories of a newly appointed DEA chief and his family, a West Coast kingpin's wife, a key informant, and cops on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border. Rarely has a film so energetic and suspenseful presented a more complex and nuanced view of an issue of such international importance. Instantly recognized as a classic, "Traffic" appeared on more than two-hundred critics' ten-best lists, and earned five Academy award nominations.
