The Post

Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed, gripping and timely drama about the publishing of the Pentagon Papers, featuring Tom Hanks and an Oscar-nominated performance from Meryl Streep.

Urgent, engaging and inspiring, Steven Spielberg’s masterful depiction of the clash between power and press is a compelling and timely political thriller. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks star as proprietor-publisher of The Washington Post Katherine Graham and editor-in-chief Ben Bradlee as they race to expose a three-decades long cover-up by the U.S. Government. Told with Spielberg’s trademark combination of tension, earnestness and humour, The Post is an intellectually rousing reminder of the importance of holding power to account.
