The movie is set in 2011 in lahore. At an outdoor café a Pakistani Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the US. Roll back 10 years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking fortune and glory on Wall Street.

But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream turns into a nightmare: Profiled, wrongfully arrested, strip-searched and interrogated, he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death.
