Zero Dark Thirty

“The greatest manhunt in history.”

Maya (Jessica Chastain), a young CIA analyst, is sent to Pakistan in the years after September 2001 to find Osama bin Laden. She works beside the interrogator Dan (Jason Clarke) and spends the next decade chasing names, phone numbers and the occasional courier. Kathryn Bigelow keeps the hunt slow and procedural, a story about how long a single obsession can be asked to hold.
