“The Post”

directed by Steven Spielberg

The 2017 film teams Oscar winners Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks for the first time. It was nominated by the Academy for Best Picture and Best Actress.

Determined to uphold the nation’s civil liberties, Katharine Graham (Streep), publisher of The Washington Post, and hard-nosed editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks) join forces to expose a decades-long cover-up. But the two must risk their careers –– and their freedom –– to bring truth to light in this powerful film. Based on a true story.
