Reviews

This dramatic true-life account follows Daniel Ellsberg (James Spader), the Harvard graduate and ex-Marine who disclosed information from the Pentagon Papers in 1971, exposing secrets about the US involvement in Vietnam and contributing to the reasons that Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency. The film is based on Ellsberg's biography, tracking his actions from his early days as a soldier to his position as military analyst for the Pentagon. Inside the Pentagon, he discovers a top-secret document chronicling the government's deliberate cover-ups about the Vietnam War. Ellsberg suffers through a crisis of conscience as he comes to grips with the importance of the papers and debates whether or not to leak them to the New York Times--a move that would be punishable by treason. Directed by Rod Holcomb, THE PENTAGON PAPERS is a thrilling recreation of a pivotal moment in American history when citizens were forced to confront the idea that their own government had deceived them.
