THE POST (12A) 

Tuesday 22 May 2018

Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in The Post, a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post's Katharine Graham, the first female publisher of a major American newspaper and editor Ben Bradlee, as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents. The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers - and their very freedom - to help bring long-buried truths to light.

In 1971, Kay Graham was still finding her feet as the only woman in a position of power at a major national news organisation. Under intense pressure from forces within her own company and clandestine elements of the US government, it was left to Graham to summon the courage to act in conscience, find her voice and publish a story that sent shockwaves through the American establishment.

Tenacious, charming and fiercely independent, Ben Bradlee quickly ascended up the ranks at The Washington Post, building a strong reputation for hiring talented reporters and driving them relentlessly to reach their potential. When The Pentagon Papers came to light, Bradlee trusts his instincts, and the dedication of his news team, to break the story of the decade
