In David Fincher's The Game, the director blurs the lines of reality, as Christopher Nolan similarly does in Inception. Wealth investment banker Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) is gifted a special voucher by his brother on his 48th birthday. The voucher is for a game by Consumer Recreation Services, which promises change his life. Curious about this so-called "life-changing" game, he decides he'll give it a go and participates in the game, but he's soon bombarded with a series of harmful pranks that lead him to question the real motives of the game and those around him. Is anything as it seems?
