Funnyman Jim Carrey stars with Laura Linney and Ed Harris in The Truman Show, the dark comedy about a world-famous reality star who thinks he's just an insurance agent. When this supposedly ordinary man discovers he's spent his entire life on camera surrounded by paid actors rather than family and friends, he sets out to find a new and truthful existence... and along the way finds uproarious adventure.
