This is the story of Truman, the hapless and lovable star of the most popular reality show in the world. The only catch? He doesn't know he's in a show. He is raised in one enormous set, thousand of hidden cameras broadcasting his every move twenty-four hours a day. Its a fantastically warped premise, especially when you factor in the idea that all the people surrounding him are only actors- including his wife. She is played by a luminous and positively despicable Laura Linney, and entirely overshadowed by the unscripted love of Truman's life: the elusive Sylvia.
His ten-minute affair with her plants the seed of doubt in Truman. And as more and more odd experiences build up, he has to wonder . . . Was his idyllic life exactly what it seems?
