Many of us take our freedom for granted, but if we had to choose between security and freedom, what would you choose? That was a choice Edward Snowden had to make before he exposed the shocking illegal activities by the NSA, quickly becoming one of the most wanted men in the world. His actions were polarizing to say the least, some calling him a hero and some labeling him as a traitor.
Based on the true story of Edward Snowden, Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone takes the helm of the politically-charged thriller, Snowden. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Nicholas Cage, Tom Wilkinson, and Rhys Ifans, the film gives us a look into what compelled Snowden to risk his life and love for his country to share our government’s secrets with the world. Snowden will open in theaters later this fall.
