ECNETNews is excited to announce the release of the trailer for Winner, a gripping dark comedy biopic featuring Emilia Jones as the renowned American whistleblower and former National Security Agency contractor, Reality Winner.
Inspired by real events, this highly anticipated film, directed by Susanna Fogel, offers a fresh perspective on Reality Winner’s journey, following HBO’s 2023 portrayal of her story.
Winner is scheduled to premiere in theaters on September 13, 2024. The screenplay was co-written by Fogel and Kerry Howley.
What to Expect in the Winner Trailer
The trailer delves into Reality Winner’s formative years in Texas and her subsequent service in the U.S. Air Force that paved her path to the NSA. It also hints at the pivotal moment in the film when Winner decides to leak classified information regarding Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
Here’s what to know about the film from its official synopsis:
“Reality Winner is a brilliant young misfit from a Texas border town who adores her pink gun almost as much as she cherishes helping others. After mastering Arabic in high school to serve in the Middle East, she joins the Air Force but becomes disillusioned by moral challenges. Transitioning to a lucrative role as an NSA contractor, she uncovers government secrets about election tampering during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Ultimately, her decision to expose the truth leads to a trial and a landmark sentencing for espionage.”
In addition to Jones, the biopic features a notable cast including Connie Britton, Danny Ramirez, Kathryn Newton, and Zach Galifianakis in key roles.
Winner will be available in select theaters and on-demand starting September 13.
