Plot Summary:Daniel Ellsberg, a hawkish analyst for the Rand Corporation think-tank and later for the U.S. government, supports the war in Vietnam until two powerful occurrences: the experience, first-hand, of combat and political turmoil in Vietnam, and the discovery of secret Defense Department documents detailing the deliberate fabrication of reasons to initiate and expand the war. Facing a crisis of conscience, Ellsberg becomes convinced that the American people have not been told the truth about the war, its justifications, or its likely outcome. He decides to expose the secret history of the war in hopes that the American public, its eyes opened, will force the government to end the war. In order to do so, he must risk his career and his freedom, perhaps even his life.
散，有些多愁善感的片段还挺好看的，整体莫名其妙。Spader个人魅力很强，把迷惑、无助和后来的自我牺牲但又很悲伤演得好让人同情。床戏纯属多余。
新闻自由胜利，个人对抗体制，真实案例的沉闷呈现。
还是睡着了...
不太好
案例实在太经典，6比3美利坚合众国败给了《纽约时报》，历史上都找不出第二个例子。庭审本该是重中之重，结果一笔带过，还是老一套：捧高个人，淡化媒体、法院与政府之间的角力，我压根就不关心主人公的狗血恋情，只想看庭审
再好的素材碰到平庸的导演也只会石沉大海，即使它是部纪录片。
如果仅是个人的胜利，而不是体制的胜利，这样的胜利不会长久，喝彩也只显得单薄而无力。所以这部电影给我带来的不是希望，而是失望和绝望。
作为一部电视电影它把这个故事讲得还真是烂。。。
