There are no rules in The Game - and that will make life very difficult for Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas), a successful businessman who is always in control. Van Orton lives a well-ordered life, until an unexpected birthday gift from his brother (Sean Penn) destroys it all. Van Orton has been enrolled in a game -"a profound life experience"- that begins quietly enough but soon erupts into a chain of devastating events. Like it or not, he must either win, or lose control of everything in his life.
