Trevor Reznik is a machinist in a factory. An extreme case of insomnia has led to him not sleeping in a year, and his body withering away to almost no...thing. He has an obsessive compulsion to write himself reminder notes and keep track of his dwindling weight, both scribbled on yellow stickies in his apartment. The only person he lets into his life in an emotional sense is Stevie, a prostitute, although he has an infatuation with Maria, a single mother waitress working in an airport diner. His co-workers don't associate with and mistrust him because of not knowing what is going on in his life that has led to his emaciated physical appearance. A workplace incident further alienates him with his coworkers, and in conjunction with some unfamiliar pieces of paper he finds in his apartment, Trevor believes that someone or some people - probably one or some of his coworkers - are out to get him, using a phantom employee named Ivan as their front. As Trevor goes on a search for evidence as to Ivan's schemes and whereabouts, Trevor may come to a true understanding of what has caused his insomnia. Show More

Summary:
The Machinist is a psychological thriller directed by Brad Anderson. The story revolves around Trevor Reznik, a machinist who has been afflicted with a severe case of insomnia lasting over a year. As a result, his body has deteriorated, and he has become skin and bones. Trevor copes with his condition by writing reminder notes and keeping track of his weight, which he scribbles on yellow stickies in his apartment. He has formed a close emotional relationship with Stevie, a prostitute, but secretly holds an infatuation for Maria, a single mother who works at an airport diner.

Trevor's disheveled and gaunt appearance has caused his co-workers to distrust and distance themselves from him. A workplace accident further isolates him, and when he discovers unfamiliar papers in his apartment, Trevor becomes convinced that someone, possibly one of his colleagues, is plotting against him, using a fictitious employee named Ivan as a front.

Driven by paranoia, Trevor embarks on a quest to uncover evidence of Ivan's schemes and whereabouts. Along the way, he begins to unravel the true cause of his insomnia, leading him to a harrowing realization.

The Machinist delves deep into Trevor's psychological state, exploring themes of isolation, guilt, and the consequences of a troubled mind. As the mystery unfolds, viewers are taken on a dark and suspenseful journey into the depths of Trevor's fractured psyche.
