Synopsis
Based on the 1980s British television miniseries Traffik, director Steven Soderbergh presents Traffic, a patchwork (大杂烩) of stories that evokes the high-risk world of the drug trade. A Mexican policeman finds himself caught in a web of corruption; a pair of undercover agents work in the sordid and dangerous world of San Diego dealers; a wealthy drug baron (头目) living in suburban America is arrested and learns how quickly his unknowing and pampered (娇生惯养的) wife takes over his business; and the US President's new anti-drug official, an Ohio State Supreme Court Justice, must deal with his increasingly drug-addicted teenage daughter.
