Another of Moore's subversive journeys in search of an answer to this question: at a time when corporations are posting record profits, why are so many Americans still in danger of losing their jobs? Searching America's heartland, armed only with a camera, a biting sense of humor and sympathy for the American worker, Moore embarks on a one-man campaign to persuade Fortune 500 companies to consider their downsizing decisions. At last, Moore comes upon one high-profile CEO willing to talk...but the meeting doesn't go exactly the way either had planned. [More]

Reviews for The Big One
when he's retelling his experiences in front of an audience his sense of timing is impeccable and he is quite funny
The good news is Moore knows he's ridiculous, and he kind of makes fun of it.
This movie changed my life. It made me realize people have real problems, can't provide for their families and feed their kids. Any worries I have are nothing.
[Moore is] a great presence, capable of whipping a crowd into a frenzy with cool ease.
