The Post

(2017)Directed by Steven Spielberg116 min · PG-13Drama, History
“Truth be told”

Someone has leaked a secret government study, and it shows that four Presidents lied to the country about a war. Kay Graham (Meryl Streep), the first woman to publish a major American newspaper, has to decide whether the Washington Post will print it, with her editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) pushing her to say yes. Spielberg builds the film out of ringing phones and the slow, loud work of getting a story into print.
