The Report

The Report follows Daniel Jones, a Senate investigator who leads a wide-ranging inquiry into the CIA's detention and interrogation program set up after the September 11 attacks. Working alongside Senator Dianne Feinstein, Jones examines evidence showing the methods used were brutal, unethical and ineffective, and he pushes to make the findings public. His efforts meet resistance from the CIA and the White House, which work to prevent the report from being released.

Scott Z. Burns wrote and directed the film, his second feature as director after Pu-239 in 2006, and he also produced it with Steven Soderbergh and Jennifer Fox. Adam Driver plays Daniel Jones, with Annette Bening as Dianne Feinstein, and supporting roles filled by Jon Hamm, Sarah Goldberg, Michael C. Hall and Douglas Hodge among a credited cast of 43. The production had a budget of 8 million dollars.
