Oliver Stone's gripping espionage thriller telling the true story of a controversial US whistleblower. The unlikeliest of political crusaders, Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strait-laced, conservative young man who's eager to serve his country. Unfortunately, poor health puts paid to his army career. So he joins the CIA, which soon finds a use for his computing skills. But he's shocked to uncover sinister secrets about the extraordinary extent of US global surveillance and decides to go public by leaking classified documents. Oscar-winning firebrand filmmaker Oliver Stone, of 'JFK' fame, proves a perfect fit for this incredible political thriller, skilfully marshalling its complex threads into a compelling narrative. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a career-best performance, shedding fascinating new light on the journey of the man behind the global news story. The top-notch supporting cast includes Shailene Woodley as Snowden's girlfriend and voice of his conscience, and Rhys Ifans as his CIA handler.
