Truth (2015)
Cate Blanchett leads this true-story newsroom drama as Mary Mapes, the CBS producer that led the 2004 charge against President George W. Bush’s military service with a piercing 60 Minutes investigative report. Based on Mapes’ own memoir, the film covers the brutal backlash and relentless criticism she and news anchor Dan Rather (Robert Redford) received in the aftermath. Co-stars Elisabeth Moss (Top of the Lake), Topher Grace (Interstellar) and Dennis Quaid (Flight of the Phoenix).
