Scott Z. Burns’s 2019 political drama The Report sees Adam Driver as Senate staffer Daniel Jones, and used the lens of an investigative report to dramatize the CIA’s use of torture during the War on Terror. Produced by longtime Burns collaborator Steven Soderbergh, it told the reported story of the once-idealistic Jones’ (Driver) work to cut to the truth over the span of a decade.

The movie became one of the few mainstream American films (along with Paul Schrader’s The Card Counter) to really dig into the darkest side of the country’s post-9/11 activity. But even more than looking at the development of U.S. torture infrastructure, the movie deals with the nature of obscuring facts and hiding from accountability. Even its real title, The Torture Report, has a redaction.
