About this movie

Driven to expose corporate crimes and government secrets not matter what the cost, an activist (Benedict Cumberbatch - Star Trek Into Darkness) and computer hacker (Daniel Brühl - Rush) team up to become the underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. As their WikiLeaks organisation starts to gather support and influence across the globe so the stakes are raised; pitching them into conflict with US intelligence agencies and putting the lives of thousands in danger. Also starring Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), Laura Linney (Hyde Park on Hudson) and Peter Capaldi (In the Loop), The Fifth Estate is based on the thrilling true story of the battle for the control of power and freedom in the 21st century. 2014 Dreamworks Distribution Co, LLC.

Ratings and reviews

Really liked the film but a bit saddened that Julian seems to be such an a55. Like all great films can only watch once

Great film but at some parts difficult to understand and follow.

Thought this film was great. However don't expect a blockbuster action death film. This is similar to the social network in terms content.
