Drug lords, cross-border smuggling, and the war against drugs are the prominent themes featured in the critically acclaimed drama, Traffic. Director Steven Soderbergh has assembled an all-star cast in a story revolving around the drug smuggling problems between the Mexican and U.S. border. Not only is the film fascinating, but Soderbergh assembled a stellar cast that includes Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Benicio Del Toro and Dennis Quaid. He even managed to get Salma Hayek, an almost unrecognizable Benjamin Bratt and Peter Reigert to drop in for cameos. Interesting fact: Steven Soderbergh also acted as the film's cinematographer, shooting the film almost entirely hand-held. Soderbergh wanted to credit himself on the film as directed and photographed by, but the Writers Guild would not give him a waiver to put the photographer credit between the writer and director credit. He didn't want to credit himself twice so, using his father's first two names, Soderbergh came up with the pseudonym Peter Andrews for the cinematographer. However the Oscars turn out, you can bet that Soderbergh (or Peter Andrews) will be smiling. His acknowledgment for two films at this year's Oscars gives him a more than likely chance of not going home empty-handed.
