Plot Summary

Evelyn Ross (Jessica Chastain) is an award-winning investigative journalist who stumbles upon a cache of encrypted files tied to a covert international surveillance program—one that implicates top U.S. and EU officials in illegal data mining and political assassinations.

Realizing she's being watched, Evelyn enlists the help of Tom Keene (Michael Fassbender), a disillusioned former intelligence analyst who once worked inside the very agency behind the operation. Together, they race to decrypt the documents before the shadowy forces led by the calculating and cold Senator Arthur Claymore (Gary Oldman) can silence them permanently.
