In the gripping political drama Truth (2015), director James Vanderbilt tells the true story of the Killian Documents controversy, also known as Rathergate. This captivating film explores the events leading up to the 2004 presidential election and the shocking fallout that follows when CBS News and beloved newscaster Dan Rather bravely expose a story that could potentially change the course of history.
Anchor Dan Rather, played by Robert Redford, and producer Mary Mapes, played by Cate Blanchett, decide to air an explosive segment on the popular news program 60 Minutes.

As the controversy unfolds, Rather and Mapes must defend their credibility and integrity against mounting pressure from CBS News, corporate interests, and the political establishment. They find themselves caught in a high-stakes battle for truth, as their careers and reputations hang in the balance.
Truth expertly weaves together suspense and political intrigue to create a thought-provoking and timely film that forces viewers to question the power and influence of the media. With stellar performances from its lead actors and a gripping narrative, this film is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of journalism and politics.
