According to Sicko, almost fifty million Americans are uninsured while the remainder, who are covered, are often victims of insurance company fraud and red tape. Furthermore, Sicko points out that the U.S. health care system is ranked 37 out of 191 by the World Health Organization with certain health measures, such as infant mortality and life expectancy, equal to countries with much less economic wealth. Interviews are conducted with people who thought they had adequate coverage but were denied care. Former employees of insurance companies describe cost-cutting initiatives that give bonuses to insurance company physicians and others to find reasons for the company to avoid meeting the cost of medically necessary treatments for policy holders, and thus increase company profitability.

The film begins with a profile of Kenneth Lay, who founded Enron in 1985. Two years after its founding, the company becomes embroiled in scandal after two traders begin betting on the oil markets, resulting in suspiciously consistent profits. One of the traders, Louis Borget, is also discovered to be diverting company money to offshore accounts. After auditors uncover their schemes, Lay encourages them to "keep making us millions". However, the traders are fired after it is revealed that they gambled away Enron's reserves; the company is narrowly saved from bankruptcy by the timely intervention of executive Mike Muckleroy, who managed to bluff the market long enough to recover Borget's trading losses and prevent a margin call. After these facts are brought to light, Lay denies having any knowledge of wrongdoing.

The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person. The documentary concentrates mostly upon North American corporations, especially those in the United States. One theme is its assessment of corporations as persons, as a result of an 1886 case in the United States Supreme Court in which a statement by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite led to corporations as "persons" having the same rights as human beings, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Les rives du plus grand lac tropical du monde, considéré comme le berceau de l'humanité, sont aujourd'hui le théâtre du pire cauchemar de la mondialisation.En Tanzanie, dans les années 60, la Perche du Nil, un prédateur vorace, fut introduite dans le lac Victoria à titre d'expérience scientifique. Depuis, pratiquement toutes les populations de poissons indigènes ont été décimées. De cette catastrophe écologique est née une industrie fructueuse, puisque la chair blanche de l'énorme poisson est exportée avec succès dans tout l'hémisphère nord.Pêcheurs, politiciens, pilotes russes, industriels et commissaires européens y sont les acteurs d'un drame qui dépasse les frontières du pays africain. Dans le ciel, en effet, d'immenses avions-cargos de l'ex-URSS forment un ballet incessant au-dessus du lac, ouvrant ainsi la porte à un tout autre commerce vers le sud : celui des armes.

Seul film documentaire de Luis Buñuel, tourné en avril et mai 1932 dans la région des Hurdes (Estrémadure), à partir de la thèse ethnographique de Maurice Legendre, directeur de l'Institut français de Madrid, Las Jurdes : étude de géographie humaine (1927), Terre sans pain ne fut sonorisé qu’en 1937, puis à nouveau en 1965 lorsque Buñuel décida, avec son producteur Pierre Braunberger, de diffuser une version non censurée du film. Remarquable par son sujet peu traité à l’époque (la misère en milieu rural), par son montage (fait par Buñuel « sur une table de cuisine, à Madrid »), par l'usage du gros plan et de la piste sonore, ainsi que par la place assignée au spectateur par le film, le film continue à surprendre aujourd’hui encore.
