Newspaper Movie: The Post

In 1967, Robert McNamara, the US Secretary of Defense, formed the Vietnam Study Task Force to write an "encyclopedic history of the Vietnam War". This report, commonly known as the Pentagon Papers, detailed the systematic lying by US administrations to the American people, starting with Eisenhower, through JFK and Johnson to Nixon.

Set four-years later, The Post portrays the true story of The Washington Post publishing the Pentagon Papers.
