All of the participants are actors, except for Truman Burbank (Jim Carey). Truman was chosen out of five babies to be a TV star, whereupon film producer Christof ordered built a gigantic studio. Truman did not realize that he lives in a constructed reality set for tv show outside.
Truman is a man whose life is a fake.

Truman thinks that he is an ordinary man, married with an ordinary life and has no idea about how he is exploited. Until one day, he finds out everything.
To prevent Truman from trying to go outside studio, the producer made an incident which make Truman phobia to water. The producer created a plot that Truman’s father was dead in a staged boating incident . This incident makes Truman afraid of water for 30 years. Because Seahaven is an island, this fear removes Truman's every chance of escape. Truman begins to realize the unrealistic routine of his world and tries to escape Seahaven.
