What decade did the movie "The Player" come out?

The movie "The Player" came out in the nineties. Robert Altman’s satirical Hollywood film was released in 1992, placing it firmly in the 1990s.

The film stars Tim Robbins as Griffin Mill, a studio executive who becomes convinced that a screenwriter is threatening him. It blends black comedy, mystery, and Hollywood satire, using the film industry itself as its subject. Its opening tracking shot is also famous for lasting more than eight minutes and weaving through a busy studio lot.

Based on Michael Tolkin’s 1988 novel, the movie is packed with celebrity cameos, including performers and filmmakers playing exaggerated versions of themselves. It earned three Academy Award nominations: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. Robbins won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture—Comedy or Musical.

A common mix-up is confusing this film with later movies or television projects titled "The Player." The trivia answer refers to Altman’s 1992 American film, not the 2014 British thriller or unrelated works.
