In a nation divided by war and secrecy, Katharine Graham Meryl Streep, the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, finds her convictions tested when her editor, Ben Bradlee Tom Hanks, brings her a journalistic powder keg. The year is 1971, and a massive leak of classified government documents reveals decades of hidden truths about the Vietnam War, implicating four presidential administrations. As The Washington Post races to publish the explosive Pentagon Papers against a furious White House and a restraining order, Graham must weigh the immense personal and professional risks against her duty to inform the public. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this gripping political drama chronicles the courageous alliance between an unlikely leader and a relentless editor, as they confront the ultimate threat to a free press and fight for the right of every citizen to know the truth.
