《閱后即焚》原聲由 Carter Burwell 作曲。
本片根據曾于1977年至1981年間擔任美國中央情報局局長的斯坦菲爾德·特納的小說《高度機密：總統、中情局局長和特工》改編而成。中情局特工奧斯本（約翰·馬爾科維奇飾）因為酗酒被開除，為了報復他開始撰寫丑事回憶錄。早就想跟他離婚的老婆卡蒂（蒂爾達·斯文頓飾）偷走了他的回憶錄光盤，卻不小心將其落在了健身房里。傻頭傻腦的健身教練查德（布拉德·皮特飾）與健身房老板琳達（弗蘭西斯·麥克多蒙德飾）撿到了光盤，并想借此敲詐奧斯本。與此同時，和奧斯本老婆卡蒂有婚外情的官員哈里（喬治·克魯尼飾），一向喜歡拈花惹草，因為他在一個交友上認識了健身房老板，于是也卷進了這場敲詐事件。幾個人圍繞著這張光盤展開了一番復雜的糾纏……
