The Truman Show is a 1998 American psychological comedy-drama film starring Jim Carrey. Selected at birth and legally adopted by a television studio, Truman Burbank’s life is orchestrated from birth without his consent: and raised within a completely artificial environment. Truman lives his entire life as the unwitting star of a massive reality television show. Truman is constantly monitored by hidden cameras, his movements and relationships controlled for others’ entertainment.
