Plot Summary

The new film 'The Post' about the Pentagon Papers leak brings together Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep. Spielberg will participate in the production as a director and producer, and the male and female leads of the film are Hanks and Aunt May, respectively. This movie, which attracted the first collaboration among the three Hollywood giants, will recreate the famous Pentagon Papers leak on screen. In 1971, a Defense Department official exposed confidential documents about the US government's involvement in the Vietnam War through media outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post. Prior to the release of the documents, the US Department of Defense had attempted to obstruct their exposure but ultimately failed. The Pentagon Papers incident marked the beginning of the tarnished reputation of the federal government led by Nixon, and the subsequent Watergate scandal directly led to the downfall of the Nixon administration. The protagonists of The Post are Ben Bradley, the editor of The Washington Post, and publisher Kai Graham, who played a key role in the Pentagon Papers incident. Hanks will play Bradley, a character who appeared in the classic film "The President's Team" about the Watergate scandal, while Graham will be played by Aunt May. Spielberg's Ampere Entertainment and 20th Century Fox will jointly be responsible for financing the production. The film is Spielberg and Hanks' fifth on-screen collaboration, and director Si is currently busy with post production of "Ready Player One". It is still unknown when "The Post" will begin production.
