Plot summary

What is The Post movie plot?

Here is a short review of "The Post" movie plot summary.

In 1966, during the Vietnam War, U.S. State Department military analyst Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) accompanies American troops in combat, documenting military progress for Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood). On the flight home, McNamara tells Ellsberg and William B. Macomber that the war is hopeless. Upon landing, however, he tells the congregated media that he has every confidence in the war effort. Ellsberg, overhearing this abrupt turn-about, becomes disillusioned. Years later, as a civilian military contractor/consultant working for the RAND Corporation (a military/defense "think tank"), Ellsberg photocopies hundreds of pages of classified reports documenting the country's decades-long involvement in Vietnam, dating back to the Truman administration. Ellsberg then leaks these documents first to The New York Times, through reporter Neil Sheehan (Justin Swain).
In 1971, newspaper heiress Katharine Graham tries to balance a busy social life with her responsibilities as owner and publisher for the past eight years of The Washington Post, following the suicide of her husband, the Post's former publisher, and the death of her father. She nervously prepares for the Post's stock market launch, a move to help financially stabilize the paper. Graham lacks journalistic experience and is frequently overruled by her domineering financial advisers and editors, including editor-in-chief (executive editor) Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) and board member Arthur Parsons (Bradley Whitford).
McNamara, a long-time friend, warns Graham that an unflattering story featuring him will be published in The New York Times, another example of the TimesB ability to get preemptive "scoops" while the Post languishes behind. The story is an exposé of the American government's long-running deception regarding America's position in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. However, a federal district court injunction halts the TimesI from publishing further articles on the subject.
