The Fifth Estate Official Synopsis:
Triggering our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news
leaks and the trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed
the game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real events, “The Fifth Estate”
reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned
an Internet upstart into the 21st century’s most fiercely debated organization.
The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and
his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl) team up to become
underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they
create a platform that allows whistleblowers to anonymously leak covert data,
shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate
crimes. Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world’s most legendary
media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the
biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they
battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of
keeping secrets in a free society—and what are the costs of exposing them?”
