Fair Game talks about the political games that are often played at the top. The story of the film revolves around a couple, by the name of Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson. Plame is a secret undercover Central Intelligence Agency’s employee, and Joseph is a diplomat, who has been the US ambassador to Gabon and Sao Tome.
Because of his high profile background, Wilson is being called upon by Plame's CIA colleagues to travel to Niger and collect information, as to whether yellowcake uranium is being acquired by Iraq for making life threatening nuclear weapons. Wilson resolves to his own satisfaction, that it is not true. Then, after military action is taken by George W. Bush, mitigating it in a 2003 State of the Union address, by supporting the uranium's use in building weapons of mass destruction, Wilson gives an op-ed piece of article to The New York Times. The report claims that the information being reported is emphatically fallacious. Now, in order to avert what Wilson intends to do, White House officials leak out the identity of Valerie Plame – of her being a CIA agent! This ruins her career, which is followed by her suspension from the job.
Enraged by public interviews, she leaves her husband, but she does return on her husband’s plea and testifies in front of the Congressional Committee. Do Valerie and Joseph escape the cover-up unscathed? Or do they get further entangled in the web of treachery? Watch Fair Game to find out the answers to all your questions.
