Film Green Zone ini pilihan temenku ... aku gak ngerti ceritanya ... makanya aku sempet ketiduran ... he he he .... gantian 1 sama ...
Iraqi General Mohammed Al-Rawi (Yigal Naor), in hiding in Baghdad, is meeting with his aides talking about the invasion of Iraq. Al-Rawi suggests that they wait until the Americans arrive and perhaps make his army an offer to join their forces.
Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) and his squad investigate a warehouse, believed to be holding Weapons of Mass Destruction. But they find that the warehouse is empty. At a debriefing, Miller brings up the point that the majority of the intel given to him is inaccurate and anonymous, stating that on his last three attempts to find WMDs, his team had come up with nothing. High-ranking officials quickly debunk Miller's theory about the intelligence being false. After the debriefing, Miller meets Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson), a CIA officer based in the Middle East who tells Miller that the next place he is going to investigate for WMDs is also empty, as a team had already searched there months ago.
Meanwhile, Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) is welcoming Ahmed Zubadi (Raad Rawi) an Iraqi politician at Saddam International Airport, where he is interrogated by journalist Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan). She asks if she could speak to "Magellan", to which Poundstone says that he is heavily "locked up".
While investigating another site, Miller is approached by the Iraqi who calls himself "Freddie" (Khalid Abdalla), who tells Miller that he saw Al-Rawi at the meeting in a nearby house. Miller and his men swiftly go to the house but Al-Rawi narrowly escapes but they take one of his henchmen into custody. But before Miller can extract any more information the man is taken by Delta Force, sent by Poundstone.
Miller goes to Brown's hotel in the green zone and tell him of what took place, then Brown gets permission for Miller to visit the man taken by the Special Forces. Before leaving, he is approached by Wall Street Journal correspondent Lawrie Dayne. When Miller gets to the prison where the informant is held, the man is in desperate need of medical attention, the man responds to Miller's question with the word "Jordan". With Brown's help, Miller's suspicions are confirmed that Al-Rawi met with Poundstone in February in Jordan as Poundstone's inside man.
While Miller tries to meet with Al-Rawi, he is kidnapped by Al-Rawi's men because Poundstone announced the decision to disarm all Iraqi army. Al-Rawi tells him that he told Poundstone there had been no WMD programme since the First Persian Gulf War, and we learn that Poundstone lied to his superiors in Washington - so that Iraq would be invaded. General Al-Rawi then flees as the Iraqi Army is disbanded by Delta Force with the objective to kill him. Meanwhile, Miller kills his captor and races to capture Al Rawi. Miller finally managed to track down Al-Rawi. But Freddie appears and kills Al-Rawi, saying to Miller "it's not for you to decide what happens in Iraq." Later in his hotel room, Miller writes a report of everything that had happened.
Miller confronts Poundstone at a meeting and gives him the report. Poundstone tells Miller that WMD does not matter. Then, Miller violently grabs Poundstone, saying "the reason that why we go to war always matter." Blackwater contractors break them up. Poundstone then rejoins the Iraqi meeting, only to see the Iraqi leaders yelling at each other and leaving the meeting. Afterwards, Dayne receiving an e-mailed copy of Miller's report. The camera then pans out to show Miller on-duty driving off on the Iraqi highway, with the Iraqi oil fields in the background.
Jane and Jake attend their son Luke's college graduation in New York. A dinner together develops into an affair, making Jane "the other woman". Part of Jane knows it is wrong, since Jake and Agness are still married and trying to have a baby; the other part of Jane relishes being "the other woman" and continues the affair with Jake in Santa Barbara. Jake is just enjoying the clandestine sex and doesn't show much interest in Jane's growth as a person. He however feels nostalgic for the family life he once had with Jane, particularly her cooking, and being close with his children, and wonders if he should be growing old with Jane rather than starting a new family in late middle-age with Agness.
Their children know nothing of their parents' affair, although Harley (John Krasinski), who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots them in a hotel and keeps silent. Agness knows nothing, as Jake still has sex with her on demand; her five-year-old son Pedro suspects something when Jake makes phone calls from the bathroom.
Complicating matters is Adam (Steve Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane's home, who is himself healing from a divorce of his own, and who has begun to fall in love with Jane. He spends time getting to know her as a person. On the night of Luke's graduation party, Jane invites Adam to the party, and when he picks her up she's high because she smoked one of the joints that Jake gave her. Then at the party, Adam takes a swift from the joint too and they both become really high. Jake becomes jealous observing them, but with some cajoling by Jane, he gets high as well. Harley confronts Jake and Jane, stressed from keeping their secret, and eventually agrees to smoke some pot as well. Agness then observes Jake and Jane dancing together, and becomes suspicious of their renewed closeness.
When they leave, Adam asks if they could have something to eat so Jane takes him to her bakery-restaurant and offers to make him anything; he asks for a chocolate croissant, which they make from scratch laughing and having fun. This takes hours, and they enjoy the time together. As her architect, he shows great sensitivity in listening to her needs and vision for her remodeled kitchen and bedroom.
Jake leaves Agness, who kicks him out of their house as he confesses that he's still in love with Jane, who rebuffs his gesture. Eventually via webcam under embarrassing circumstances, Adam learns Jane is still seeing Jake. Adam knows his boundaries and tells Jane he cannot continue seeing her as this triangle will only lead to heartbreak. Her kids also find out, and they are not happy about Mom and Dad getting together again, as they are still recovering from the divorce ten years ago. Jane tells them she is not getting back with their dad, who then drives off in his Porsche while the children go to Harley and Lauren's house. Jane soon reconciles with the kids, citing that she wanted to do this for herself, which they sympathize. When she returns home, Jake awaits her to talk, and the two end their affair on amicable terms.
The film ends with Adam returning to Jane's house to work on her addition and before the credits roll Jane and Adam are seen laughing while walking into her house.

In 2001, Ally is 21 years old,and is a student at New York University who lives at home with her father, an NYPD detective, Neil Craig (Chris Cooper). We discover that he is very protective of Ally, insisting that he knows where she is, that he drives her to and from school and that she takes taxis instead of the subway.
We are next introduced to Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson), a moody, directionless 21 year-old auditing classes and working in a bookstore of New York University. He has had a strained relationship with his businessman father, Charles (Pierce Brosnan) because of his brother Michael's suicide and Charles' apparent lack of concern for Tyler's younger sister, Caroline.
One night Tyler and his roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington) find themselves in trouble with police detective Neil Craig. Later Aidan sees Ally (now played by Emilie de Ravin) being dropped off at NYU by her Dad. He schemes to retaliate against the detective by having Tyler pursue and dump Ally. Tyler reluctantly agrees to meet her, refusing to participate in Aidan's plan. After spending some time with Ally, the two bond over the losses in their pasts and begin to fall for each other. One night, Ally stays out all night and doesn't call home. Her father is overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. When she arrives home, they fight and Neil punches Ally in the face. She leaves home and moves in with Tyler and Aidan. Eventually, Neil recognizes Tyler, and the latter provokes Neil by confessing Aidan's ill-advised scheming and his reason for meeting Ally. This turn of events forces Tyler to confess everything to Ally. She leaves him angrily. The couple stay alienated until Aidan visits her to explain that only he is to blame, and that Tyler's feelings were legitimate.
Tyler and his little sister are very close. Caroline's classmates think she's weird and she is frequently the subject of ridicule. One day she attends the sleepover-birthday party of one of her classmates. While she's sleeping, the girls chop off her hair. Caroline's trauma brings her family together, including her Dad and Tyler, Aidan and Ally. Tyler and Ally bond again. Tyler takes Caroline to class on her first day back to school following the assault at the party. When one of the perpetrators ridicules Caroline, Tyler loses it, flipping the little girl's desk and throwing a fire extinguisher through the glass classroom door.
In the days and weeks following the assault on Caroline, Tyler and Charles begin to reconnect. Tyler sees in Charles the love, concern, and caring for Caroline that he'd assumed was lacking. Charles assists Tyler with his legal difficulties resulting from his outburst at Caroline's school and they form a quiet truce. Charles asks Tyler to meet with lawyers at his office and so Tyler goes to his father's work place. While waiting for his father and the attorneys to arrive, Tyler discovers photographs of himself, Caroline, and Michael on Charles' computer and smiles, realizing the depth of Charles' love for his family. Tyler looks out the window of his father's office over Manhattan, and as the camera view widens we see that he is in an office near the top of the World Trade Center. Meanwhile, Charles is late arriving to his meeting with Tyler because he is riding with Caroline to school. Caroline arrives in her classroom, takes her seat and her teacher writes the date on the blackboard, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. In the moments following the attack on WTC, each of Tyler's friends and loved ones are shown discovering the events as they unfold.
