Triggering
our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news leaks and the
trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed the
game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real events, “The Fifth
Estate” reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of
power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century’s most
fiercely debated organization. The story begins as WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his colleague Daniel
Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl) team up to become underground watchdogs of
the privileged and powerful.
On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistleblowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate crimes. Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world’s most legendary media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of keeping secrets in a free society—and what are the costs of exposing them?"
