The plot: While the New York Times publish an article
detailing Pentagon papers that show a mass cover-up concerning the U.S.’s
involvement in the Vietnam War, the Washington Post is stuck reporting on Nixon’s

posting any more of their findings, Post publisher Kay Graham (Meryl Streep)
and editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) get to work on publishing the findings
themselves. However, between the social, ethical and political hurdles
involved, it seems that the truth comes with a price.
