"Lorsqu'un responsable marketing d'une importante chaîne de restauration rapide trouve un ingrédient suspicieux dans la recette de hamburger, il va à la ferme et à un abattoir au Colorado pour enquéter et trouve que parfois la vérité est dure à avaler."
"Inspired by author Eric Schlosser's New York Times best-seller of the same name, director Richard Linklater's ensemble drama examines the health issues and social consequences of America's love affair with fast food and features an all-star cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Ethan Hawke, Kris Kristofferson, Patricia Arquette, and Luis Guzman. Mickey's is the most popular fast-food chain in America, and The Big One is the top-selling burger that put them on the map. When the higher-ups at Mickey's corporate offices learn that the frozen meat patties used to make the wildly popular burger have somehow been tainted with contaminated meat, they send marketing executive Don Henderson (Kinnear) on an urgent mission to ensure quality control and find out precisely how their product became compromised. It's a long way from the Southern California boardroom to the immigrant slaughterhouses, though, and the further Henderson works his way through the bustling feedlots and toward the ubiquitous restaurant sites that have become a staple of modern culture, the more he begins to realize just how dangerous convenience can become when it leads to blissfully ignorant complacency."@en
"Don Henderson a un vrai problème. Il est responsable marketing de la chaîne des Mickey's Fast Food Restaurants, et de la viande contaminée a été découverte dans les stocks de steaks surgelés du fameux Big One, le hamburger vedette de la marque. Quittant ses confortables bureaux de Californie du Sud, il va découvrir les abattoirs et leurs employés immigrés, les élevages surpeuplés et les centres commerciaux de l'Amérique profonde et que ce sont les consommateurs qui se font bouffer par l'industrie du fast food et non l'inverse!"

"In Texas muss Don Henderson, der Marketingleiter der Fast-Food-Kette Michey's, erkennen, dass der unersättliche Appetit Amerikas auf Fast Food ein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes schmutziges Geschäft ist: Dort, fernab der kalifornischen Firmenzentrale, eröffnen sich ihm die Gründe für Ekel erregendes Burgerfleisch, die bittere Realität illegaler Immigranten und die Wahrheit über brutale Schlachtmethoden. Und er erfährt auch, dass sein Arbeitgeber das alles nicht nur billigend in Kauf nimmt, sondern auch ursächlich dafür verantwortlich ist."
"Il direttore marketing della Mickey's Food Restaurants (una catena di fast food) si trova a dover lasciare il suo comodo ufficio in California per raggiungere il luogo dove si trova l'industria che macella le bestie e produce gli hamburger che fanno la fortuna della sua impresa commerciale. C'è infatti il sospetto che la carne non sia igienicamente a norma. Nello stabilimento di macellazione lavorano numerosi immigrati messicani giunti negli States illegalmente. Il film segue le loro vicende e quelle del manager (Mymovies)."
"Author of Fast Food Nation Eric Schlosser lectured about the meat packing industry."
"Features in a fictionalized adaptation of the book, the dark side of the all-American meal and the health issues and social consequences of America's love affair with fast food. Dramatizes the quest of a marketing executive employed by a huge burger chain, who searches to find the source of a nasty "secret" ingredient in their burger recipe; he goes to the ranches and slaughterhouses of Colorado to investigate and finds that the truth is sometimes difficult to swallow."@en
"Richard Linklater-directed fictionalised condemnation of fast-food consumerism based on the best selling book by Eric Schlosser. Through the stories of several individuals in one small town, and with an ensemble cast including Kris Kristofferson, Bruce Willis, Ethan Hawke and pop star Avril Lavigne, the hypocrisy and big business mentality of the burger industry is laid bare. From ranchers exploited and under-paid for their beef cattle cattle to the migrant workers exploited as burger slingers at the counters, Linklater carefully outlines exactly how the 20th century phenomenon of a cheap hamburger impacts many, many lives in an almost universally negative way."
"If it's true that we are what we eat, then how do we even know who we are? Don Anderson is trying to balance his search for the truth with an apparent desire not to do anything that might hurt his career. Raul and Sylvia, having crossed the border illegally, take up dangerous, stomach-turning jobs at the meat-processing plant. Amber is a teenage burger-slinger who wants to both change the world and get out of town. These two desires--to fight the system and to win by its rules--are not necessarily incompatible, though they may seem contradictory. Everyone has something to say, but hard ethical choices are set down by the logic of 21st-century consumer capitalism."@en
