Peter Weir\'s acute and highly entertaining satire stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, a man blissfully unaware that his entire life is a fabrication created for a TV series broadcast all over the world. With Laura Linney and Noah Emmerich.   Inspired by an episode of The Twilight Zone, this sci-fi satire revolves around Truman Burbank, the star of \"The Truman Show,\" a 24-hour-a-day TV phenomenon that broadcasts every aspect of his life without his knowledge. A cast of actors are hired to play his wife, best friends and work colleagues. He believes they\'re the genuine article and not simply performing.
