Warned by his boss (Richard Schiff) that he has just one more chance to deliver, jingle writer Harvey Shine goes to London for his daughter Susan's (Liane Balaban) weekend wedding, planning to be back on Monday. But Susan has asked her stepfather, Brian (James Brolin), to walk her down the aisle. When the devastated Harvey misses his return flight, he is fired on the spot. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Emma Thompson), a sensitive, 40-something National Statistics employee who works at the airport. Kate, single and attentive more to her smothering mother (Eileen Atkins), than any sort of love life, is intrigued by Harvey - and he by her, their differences notwithstanding

BURN AFTER READING DVD

When a computer disk belonging to recently resigned and embittered CIA agent Osborne Cox (John Malkovich) is found in the ladies toilet at a Hardbodies gym in Washington, co-workers Linda (Frances McDormand) and Chad (Brad Pitt) believe they have a rare chance to make big money selling it back to him. Meanwhile, womanizer and ex-Treasury agent Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) is having an affair with Osborne's wife Katie (Tilda Swinton), and trawls the internet for other vulnerable women - including Linda, by chance, who is insecure about her body, which is why she wants the money to pay for various cosmetic procedures. Yet there is a man who finds her attractive, her Hardbodies manager Ted (Richard Jenkins). As she and the hapless airhead Chad try to flog off the disc to anyone who'll buy it, they stumble about causing endless trouble for everyone, not least themselves

Which past job could have given you a chance to make an incriminating computer disc and why? (Max. 35 words)
