- Summary:
- Based on a true story of the most famous anonymous man in American history: Mark Felt, the FBI second-in-command who was the "Deep Throat" whistleblower in the 1970s Watergate scandal.The identity of the secret informant remained a source of intense public curiosity and speculation for over thirty years, until Felt revealed himself through an article in Vanity Fair in 2005.While his name has been public for a decade, few know about the personal and professional life of the brilliant and uncompromising Felt, who risked and ultimately sacrificed everything, including his family, career, and ultimately his freedom, to bring what he knew to light. Mark Felt shows us Watergate as we've never seen it before, flipping the perspective from All the President's Men's journalists-on-the-street to a view from the highest offices of power, an extraordinary window into a government in turmoil. The story of far-reaching White House corruption, of which the Watergate break-in was only a lone example.As current events strike startling parallels to the political turmoil of the Watergate era--including power struggles between the executive branch and the FBI, evidence of election dirty tricks, and renewed White House challenges to the veracity of the media--Mark Felt's story could not be more timely.Written and directed by Peter Landesman (Concussion, Parkland), the film is headed by Academy Awardnominated Liam Neeson as Mark Felt, as well as Academy Awardnominated Diane Lane, as his wife Audrey. The film's cast also includes such celebrated actors as: Marton Csokas (Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray); Tony Goldwyn, Josh Lucas, Ike Barinholtz, Brian d'Arcy James (FBI Agents Ed Miller, Charlie Bates, Angelo Lano, and Robert Kunkel); Tom Sizemore (Felt's FBI rival, Bill Sullivan); Michael C. Hall (John Dean); Wendi McLendon-Covey (Felt's secretary Carol Tschudy); Bruce Greenwood (Sandy Smith); Julian Morris (Bob Woodward); Maika Monroe (Felt's daughter Joan); Kate Walsh (Ed Miller's wife Pat); Noah Wyle (Federal Prosecutor Stan Pottinger); and Eddie Marsan (Agency Man).
