The Report - Trailer (2019) Adam Driver, Jon Hamm, Michael C Hall


Senate staffer Daniel J. Jones is tasked with leading an investigation into the CIA's systematic torture of terrorist suspects in the years following the September 11 attacks. The investigation concludes that the so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" used by the CIA were brutal, immoral, and ineffective forms of torture, and that the CIA routinely misrepresented these facts to policymakers. When the Senate Intelligence Committee attempts to publish their findings, they have to contend with the CIA and White House's attempts to block and undermine the report.

The Report - New Teaser Trailer


Curzon today released the new teaser trailer for THE REPORT, set for UK nationwide theatrical release on 15 November, before streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 29 November. Starring Adam Driver, Annette Bening, Jon Hamm, Maura Tierney and Michael C. Hall, THE REPORT is written and directed by Scott Z. Burns. It received its world premiere to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival early this year and will receive its international premiere at Toronto International Film Festival on 8 September.


SYNOPSIS
Following 9/11, the CIA operated ‘enhanced interrogation’, an intelligence programme they claimed was “safe, legal and effective”. In truth what they built was brutal, twisted and incompetent. THE REPORT tells the real-life story of Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver), a senate staffer who worked for six years with a very small team to reveal that truth, and to hold America’s institutions accountable in the face of cynical politics and fear.
