Lauel Bergman (Al Pacino) is the ace producer of CBS's "60 Minutes" and has always worked with esteemed host Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer). no time. Joffrey Wigan (Russell Crowe) has just been fired from Big Tobacco, and his life seems to have hit rock bottom in an instant. Bergman receives a report that the cigarettes made by tobacco companies are harmful to human body, and finds Wigan to translate. However, from this time on, Wigan felt that someone was following and monitoring him and brought great threats to his family. Tobacco companies reminded Wigan of the non-disclosure agreement he signed with himself that he would not disclose any research on cigarette manufacturing to the public. Wigan doesn't want to lose the protection of his family's life such as medical insurance, but he is being tortured by his conscience.

He recorded an episode of "60 Minutes" with Bergman before traveling to Mississippi to testify against the tobacco companies.
However, the tobacco company applied for a speech gag order faster than him, his wife left with two daughters, and the "60 Points" column was banned by CBS. The huge cost of all this is overwhelming.

    7.6/10 Not only enjoyed an excellent film, but also had a preliminary understanding of this history. Saw a more real, flesh-and-blood media world

    I like the mood at the end. While the tone is sometimes quirky, I'm sure it will be revisited at key moments, and only this amount of information and twist is worthy of the difficult reality.

The Insider quotes

  • Sharon Tiller: You won.

    Lowell Bergman: Yeah? What did I win?

  • Lowell Bergman: You pay me to go get guys like Wigand, to draw him out. To get him to trust us, to get him to go on television. I do. I deliver him. He sits. He talks. He violates his own fucking confidentiality agreement. And he's only the key witness in the biggest public health reform issue, maybe the biggest, most-expensive corporate-malfeasance case in U.S. history. And Jeffrey Wigand, who's out on a limb, does he go on television and tell the truth? Yes. Is it newsworthy? Yes. Are we gonna air it? Of course not. Why? Because he's not telling the truth? No. Because he is telling the truth. That's why we're not going to air it. And the more truth he tells, the worse it gets!
