Rendition is a 2007 thriller film directed by Gavin Hood and starring Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Peter Sarsgaard, Alan Arkin, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Omar Metwally. It centers on the controversial CIA practice of extraordinary rendition.

When Egyptian-born terrorism suspect Anwar El-Ibrahimi (Omar Metwally) disappears on a flight from South Africa to Washington, D.C., his American wife, Isabella (Reese Witherspoon), travels to Washington to try and learn the reason for his disappearance. Meanwhile, at a secret detention facility somewhere outside the United States, CIA analyst Douglas Freeman (Jake Gyllenhaal) is forced to question his assignment in an attempt to save thousands as he becomes a party to the torture of El-Ibrahimi.

Reviews for Rendition were neutral. Based on 33 reviews, the film averaged a score of 55 at Metacritic. Roger Ebert awarded the film four stars out of four, saying that, "Rendition is valuable and rare. As I wrote from Toronto: 'It is a movie about the theory and practice of two things: torture and personal responsibility. And it is wise about what is right, and what is wrong.'" In contrast, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone applauded the cast, but noted that the film was a "bust as a persuasive drama".
