Joining the great genre of newsroom conspiracy thrillers is the remarkable true story of investigative reporter Gary Webb (Jeremy Renner), who dropped a bombshell on the political landscape with his groundbreaking exposé on the CIA in 1996. Stumbling into the story of a lifetime, Webb travels to Nicaraguan prisons, California drug dens, and Washington’s hallowed halls in search of clues to piece together the CIA’s involvement in drug trafficking and the crack epidemic of the 1980s. Despite threats from the CIA and his fellow journalists’ efforts to discredit him, Webb will stop at nothing to unravel the conspiracy and reveal the truth. A gripping, real-life David-and-Goliath tale, director Michael Cuesta’s “All the President’s Men”-meets-“The Wire” muckraker is eye-opening suspense at its finest.
