The new film "The Post" about the "Pentagon Papers" leak brings together Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Spielberg will participate in the production as a director and producer, and the male and female protagonists of the film are Hanks and Meryl Streep respectively. This film, which attracts the first collaboration of the three Hollywood giants, will reproduce the famous "Pentagon Papers" leak on the screen. In 1971, a Department of Defense official exposed the confidential documents of the US government involved in the Vietnam War through the New York Times, the Washington Post and other media. Before the documents were made public, the US Department of Defense tried to obstruct the exposure of the documents and failed. The "Pentagon Papers" incident marked the beginning of the disgrace of the federal government led by Nixon, and the subsequent Watergate incident directly led to the fall of the Nixon administration. The protagonists of "The Post" are Ben Bradlee, editor of the Washington Post, and Kay Graham, publisher, who played a key role in the "Pentagon Papers" incident. Hanks will play Bradley, a character who appeared in the classic Watergate film "All the President's Men", while Graham will be played by Meryl Streep. Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and 20th Century Fox will jointly be responsible for financing and production. The film is the fifth screen collaboration between Spielberg and Hanks. The director is currently busy with the post-production of "Ready Player One". It is still unknown when "The Post" will start production.
