At the beginning of the film, the US president is attacked, and the government believes that the Venezuelan authorities are involved in the assassination, so it decides to carry out a military strike.
A CIA agent, Erica, submitted a report to the CIA after conducting an investigation, which Erica believes venezuela has nothing to do with the attack on the president.
Every journalist wants to win the Pulitzer Prize, and Rachel, a female reporter for The Sun, learned about it through her own channels and published it in the newspaper.
In the report, Rachel publicly mentioned the identity of Erica CIA agents and the content of the report submitted by Erica, and domestic and international public opinion was in an uproar.
Parton was appointed special prosecutor to find out who leaked intelligence within the CIA.
Erica was the first to be suspected, but she denied that she had leaked secrets during an investigation by her superiors.
Rachel was "interviewed" by Parton on the day after the report.
Parton threatened to throw the agent in jail if he didn't name the agent who violated organizational discipline until she was willing to speak, or if the leakers came forward on their own.
Rachel did not want to violate her profession and the principles of life, but she was not Jason Bourne, and she was put in jail after the trial.
She was locked up for seven months, but Rachel insisted on not speaking.
Erica has been blocked by the media to question, in the face of the distrust of her superiors, Erica asked to quit her job at the CIA.
At the same time, her school work was suspended by the school authorities, and her husband and daughter temporarily left her.
Even more distressing was the fact that an ultra-right winger shot and killed Erica outside her residence.
The news of Erica's murder also irritates Rachel, who begins to wonder if the principles she believes in are correct.
In prison, Rachel's only concern is her young son, who is originally a lonely personality, without the company of his mother, and the growth process is doomed to be deformed.
As time passed, the public began to forget about Rachel's detention and began to gravitate toward national security. Rachel's lawyers also began to persuade Rachel to name the "leaker" behind it, and he wanted to defend his client, not the "principle" of the client.
But Rachel's stubbornness and persistence seemed like no one could change.
The Supreme Court soon accepted the appeal, and counsel elaborated extensively on freedom of speech and power constraints.
However, the Supreme Court dismissed Rachel's lawyer's appeal 5:4, and the supreme court judge decided to release Rachel.
The purpose of the detention was to get her to speak, and it was clear that she would never open her mouth.
Rachel was released in court, and all her nightmares seemed to have come to an end.
But shockingly, on her way back to the hotel, the police arrested her again, and she also faced a 5-year prison sentence again.
Can Rachel get her freedom back this time?
Who are the "leakers"?
The best part of the film is left to fans and friends to watch for themselves!
