Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post's Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep), the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks). As they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents, the two professionals must overcome their differences as they risk their careers - and their very freedom - to help bring long-buried truths to light. Joining the Hollywood legends are Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Alison Brie, David Cross, Michael Stuhlbarg, and more in a hard-hitting, ensemble drama that promises to present the Pentagon Papers scandal of the '70s with great accuracy and newfound significance in today's political climate.
