Traitor is a 2008 American spy thriller film written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, based on a story by Steve Martin.

FBI Special Agent Roy Clayton suspects Samir has been radicalized and begins tracking him.

Samir is devastated when he learns that despite his and Carter's covert efforts, innocent people perished in the consulate bombing.

Impressed with Samir, Fareed introduces him to leader Nathir, who discloses a plot to place suicide bombers on 50 buses in the US during Thanksgiving.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Despite another reliable performance from Don Cheadle, Traitor suffers from too many cliches and an unfocused narrative.

"[4] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

[5] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three stars out of four and wrote in his review, "The movie proceeds quickly, seems to know its subject matter, is fascinating in its portrait of the inner politics and structure of the terrorist group, and comes uncomfortably close to reality.
