Set in 1971, The Post depicts the true story of attempts by journalists at The Washington Post to publish the infamous Pentagon Papers, a set of classified documents regarding the 20-year involvement of the United States government in the Vietnam War and earlier in French Indochina back to the 1940s.
Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in The Post, a compelling drama about the unlikely partnership of Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of The Washington Post, and its driven editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of ...

Impartiality aside, no film blends the elements of journalism and Washington intrigue more compellingly than "All the President's Men," the story of two Washington Post reporters who helped take down the No.

ARTHUR PARSONS (Bradley Whitford): This adviser who vehemently opposes publication of the Pentagon Papers is a composite fictional character. LALLY WEYMOUTH (Alison Brie): The oldest of Katharine and Philip Graham’s four children, and now senior associate editor of The Post. Image.
THE BACKGROUND: The film revolves around the Pentagon Papers, the government’s 7,000-page, 47-volume secret history of the Vietnam War. The documents were leaked to The New York Times, and though the film focuses on The Post and its publisher, Katharine Graham, it was The Times that spent three months reviewing the papers, then publishing articles about them beginning June 13, 1971. The Times defied a Nixon administration warning to stop but abided by a preliminary injunction granted June 15. Leaping into the gap, The Post’s version began appearing on June 18. On June 30, the United States Supreme Court voted 6-to-3 to lift the injunction against both papers, ruling that the government failed to justify prior restraint on publication.
THE SETTING: While “The Post” is a stark reminder of what a company town Washington can be, the movie was actually made at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. A vacant office building in White Plains, N.Y., substituted for The Post; the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of New York City on West 44th Street for The Times.
NEIL SHEEHAN (Justin Swain): The Times correspondent who actually broke the Pentagon Papers exposé is barely seen onscreen but is the focus of Bradlee’s obsession. Sheehan, Bradlee believed, must be onto something big because he hasn’t had a byline in three months. Mr. Sheehan won a Pulitzer Prize for his 1989 book about the Vietnam War. Now 81, he hasn’t seen the film.
DANIEL ELLSBERG (Matthew Rhys ): A disillusioned former Marine who drafted the study, which McNamara commissioned out of “guilt rather than courage,” he says in the movie. Mr. Ellsberg turned whistle-blower while working as an analyst for the RAND Corporation, a research group under contract to the Defense Department.

THE WASHINGTON POST: “We are not a little local paper any more,” its editor, Ben Bradlee, proclaims in the movie, declaring an end to The Post’s cozy coverage of Washington. In the years before he joined as deputy managing editor in 1965, The Post lagged behind other publications in the capital, including The Evening Star ...
Tony Essaye (C’55), left, with fellow lawyers William Glendon and Roger Clark, all of whom argued before the U.S. Supreme Court for The Washington Post in the Pentagon Papers case.
The Georgetown alumnus’ only regret about the movie is how the primary lawyer on the case, Roger Clark, was “portrayed as a young lawyer out of his depth.” Clark was an experienced and able lawyer at that point, Essaye says.
After he got his Harvard law degree in 1961 and a brief stint with a New York law firm, Essaye began serving in the legal office of the Peace Corps, which had been recently created by President Kennedy.
In 1967, the Georgetown graduate began working for the law firm Royall, Koegel & Rogers, which later became Rogers & Wells, the firm that represented the Post.
Nearing retirement age in 2000, Essaye co-founded the International Senior Lawyers Project (ISLP), which recruits retired and current attorneys in the U.S. and other developed countries to work pro bono on developing world programs that promote economic progress and human rights.
After serving as ISLP co-president for 15 years, Essaye stepped down from that role but is still very involved, particularly in raising funds for the organization.
In October 2016, Amy Pascal won a bid for the rights to the screenplay The Post, written by Liz Hannah. In February 2017, Steven Spielberg had halted pre-production on The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara with The Weinstein Company after a casting setback, and consequently opened his schedule to other potential films to direct. The following month, it was announced that Spielberg was in negotiations to direct and produce the film, with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in talks for the roles of Katharine Graham and Ben Bradlee, respectively. The Post is the first time that Spielberg, Streep, and Hanks had all worked together on a film.
It stars Meryl Streep as Katharine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post, and Tom Hanks as Ben Bradlee, the longtime executive editor of The Washington Post, with Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, ...
Graham goes ahead and says "let's do it". The White House retaliates. The Post and Times jointly appear before the Supreme Court to plead their First Amendment constitutional rights. Meanwhile, other major newspapers start publishing about the secret war study in solidarity with the once isolated Post and Times.
The Post grossed $81.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $97.9 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $179.8 million, against a production budget of $50 million.

Mamie Mitchell, the film’s script supervisor, said the firing of the gun at an actual person is in direct violation of the safety protocols and that Alec Baldwin should have known better.
Alec Baldwin “intentionally” fired a gun toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the “Rust” movie set, disregarding set protocol in the deadly shooting, according to a new lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Baldwin did not respond to a request for comment.
