Code 46, directed by Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) from a screenplay by Frank Cottrell Boyce (Welcome to Sarajevo), is a sci-fi thriller in the tradition of Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville with shades of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and classic film noirs. William Geld (Tim Robbins, The Shawshank Redemption), an insurance investigator assigned to track down and dismantle a passport forgery ring, falls for the ringleader Maria Gonzales (Samantha Morton, Sweet and Lowdown), leading to further complications when one of Maria's customers is found dead. Code 46 co-stars Jeanne Balibar (Clean), Om Puri (Gandhi) and Nina Fog (The11th Hour).
