Under Steven Spielberg’s watchful directorial eye, this tense thriller about a group of reporters at The Washington Post who are trying to courageously bring the Pentagon Papers to light sheds a realistic look inside the workings of journalism. Bradlee (played by Tom Hanks), is the journalist in charge of uncovering the papers, and Hanks’ masterclass acting combined with the determination and bravery of Bradlee, make him a memorable character.
