The Fifth Estate
CrimeDocumentaryDramaThriller128 min
As WikiLeaks grows from a small online outlet into a global flashpoint, Benedict Cumberbatch is Julian Assange, working alongside Daniel Brühl's Daniel Domscheit-Berg, an early supporter who becomes a key partner in the site's rise. The film follows their collaboration as leaked documents bring sudden reach, political pressure, and mounting scrutiny from governments and the press. What begins as a shared push to expose hidden information turns into a strained alliance, with the organization's expanding influence opening a deep fracture between the two men. Laura Linney and Stanley Tucci appear amid the official and media response surrounding the leaks.
