La película consta de dos historias paralelas. Linda Sykes es una estadounidense detenida en China, donde es interrogada por un oficial. La situación de Sharif Bin Said es muy similar: es un árabe detenido en Nueva York, donde es interrogado por agentes del FBI. Ambos personajes, estudiantes que estaban haciendo cursos de postgrado, son detenidos sin evidencias e interrogados sobre actividades sospechosas, que podrían estar relacionadas con el terrorismo. Como indica el título original, Sykes y Bin Said son sometidos a un exhaustivo registro en contra de su voluntad.

Our Town is a three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder. It is a character story about an average town's citizens in the early twentieth century as depicted through their everyday lives. Using metatheatrical devices, Wilder sets the play in a 1930s theater. He uses the actions of the Stage Manager to create the town of Grover's Corners for the audience. Scenes from its history between the years of 1901 and 1913 play out. Originally broadcast on the Showtime Network, then as part of the PBS series "Masterpiece Theatre" (season 33, episode 1).

Una pareja de adolescentes -Richard (Ryan Gosling), el más popular de clase, y el tímido Justin (Michael Pitt)-, ambos de buena familia y con una mente fría y siniestra, intentan conseguir el crimen perfecto. Para demostrarlo asesinan a una mujer con el único fin de demostrar que son lo suficientemente inteligentes como para salir impunes de cualquier situación. La detective Cassie Mayweather (Sandra Bullock, también la productora ejecutiva del film) y su compañero Sam (Ben Chaplin) serán los encargados de investigar el caso.

Hosaka contrata a dos espías, X y Fox, que deben ganarse la confianza de Hiroshi en perjuicio de Maas.

Mildred and Doris are two middle-aged white women, from very different backgrounds, who become lovers and set up house together. Film explores the pleasures and uncertainties of later-life emotional attachment and lesbian identity in a culture that glorifies youth and heterosexual romance.

Shirley MacLaine was the product of a strict middle-class background from which she and her brother, the future actor Warren Beatty, escaped into the fantasy world of show-biz. Her ballet training and her long-legged pixie charm led to rapid success on Broadway in musical comedy. Inevitably, Hollywood called and by 1955 Shirley was cast in Hitchcocks The Trouble With Harry. It wasn't too long before the fine dramatic roles also came to her opposite the most popular leading men of the time, like Fred MacMurray, Jack Lemmon, Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood and Robert Mitchum. It was apparent that this once perky gypsy of Broadway would leave her mark as one of the finest actresses of her day, an Academy-Award winner, who is ready and able to tackle any role that seems equal to her intelligence and talent. Her widely varied interests encompass the political, the literary and the mystical.
