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?”
