Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

A look into the haunting truth about the capture, and ultimately death, of Osama bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty is a thrilling and captivating film about a 10 year man hunt. But more importantly, it's a film about staying grounded, and taking necessary risks in order to do what you set out to do.

Maya (Jessica Chastain) is a CIA officer who has spent her entire career searching for Osama bin Laden. At the beginning of her assignment, she works with her colleague Dan (Jason Clarke) who tortures and humilates a prisoner for more information about bin Laden's whereabouts. The film continues and shows events over the next 8 years that impact her life, which include surviving a bombing and losing one of her friends.
