Truman Burbank nasce ripreso da una telecamera. Poi, per trent'anni continuerà ad esser ripreso a sua insaputa da telecamere che lo seguiranno in ogni luogo della sua vita, per strada, al lavoro, a letto. Lui non lo sa, ma fa parte di uno show televisivo. Tutto ciò che c'è intorno a lui è un set, le persone sono attori e comparse, le case, la polizia, i vigili del fuoco, tutto è set, persino l'acqua del mare è fasulla. Sua moglie e il suo migliore amico sono attori. Sopra tutti c'è Christof, dio-demiurgo-produttore, che gestisce la vita del poveretto. Naturalmente tutta l'America impazzisce per il programma verità, in virtù della regola del voyeurismo, molla televisiva irresistibile. Poi Truman ha qualche sospetto, diventa sicuro del trucco e cerca di scappare più volte.
