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?”

The Fifth Estate also stars Anthony Mackie, Daniel Brühl, Dan Stevens, David Thewlis, Peter Capaldi, Moritz Bleibtreu, Hera Hilmar, Michael Jibson, Jamie Blackley, and Jeany Spark.
