The Counselor: A Screenplay

　　電影《玩命法則》原著劇本，由雷利·史考特執導，《險路勿近》原作者、小說家Cormac McCarthy擔任原創編劇。麥克·法斯賓達、潘妮洛普·克魯茲、卡麥蓉·狄亞、哈維爾·巴登、布萊德·彼特主演。

From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road--in this screenplay of the major motion picture, the Counselor makes a risky entrée into the drug trade, on the eve of becoming a married man, and gambles that the consequences won’t catch up to him.

Along the gritty terrain of the Texas-Mexico border, a respected and recently engaged lawyer throws his stakes into a cocaine trade worth millions. His hope is that it will be a one-time deal and that, afterward, he can settle into life with his beloved fiancée. But instead, the Counselor finds himself mired in a brutal and dangerous game--one that threatens to destroy everything and everyone he loves. Deft, shocking, and unforgettable, McCarthy is at his finest in this gripping tale about risk, consequence, and the treacherous balance between the two.

Look for Cormac McCarthy’s latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
