Thank You for Smoking (2005)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jason Reitman
Starring: J.K. Simmons, Aaron Eckhart, Rob Lowe, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Joan Lunden
Tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) has a seemingly impossible task: promoting cigarette smoking in a time when the health hazards of the activity have become too plain to ignore. Nick, however, reveals in his job, using argument and twisted logic to place, as often as not, his clients in the positions of either altruistic do-gooders or victims. Nick's son Joey (Cameron Bright) wants to understand and respect his dad's philosophy, and Nick works hard to respond to that need without compromising his lack of values. When a beautiful news reporter named Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes) betrays Nick's sexually-achieved trust, his world seems in danger of collapsing.
