Director: Rod Lurie
Genres: Drama
A tense political drama ripped straight from the headlines, Rod_Lurie's Nothing But the Truth tells the tale of a Washington, D.C. reporter who is targeted by the government after refusing to reveal her source for a story that identified an undercover CIA operative. Rachel Armstrong (Kate_Beckinsale) is an ambitious young reporter working at the Capitol Sun-Times, one of Washington, D.C.'s biggest newspapers. When the paper published Rachel's incendiary story revealing the identity of covert CIA agent Erica Van Doren (Vera_Farmiga), charismatic special prosecutor Patton Dubois (Matt_Dillon) demands that she reveal her source for the story. With the support of her husband, Ray (David_Schwimmer); her editor, Bonnie (Angela_Bassett); and the paper's in-house attorney, Avril (Noah_Wyle), Rachel defies Patton's request and all hell breaks loose. When Rachel likewise refuses to reveal her source even to U.S. District Court Judge Hall (Floyd_Adams), she is cited with contempt of court and thrown in the D.C. Detention Center until she decides to cooperate. As Rachel's attorney, Albert Burnside (Alan_Alda), argues her case all the way to the Supreme Court, the public begins to question why the embattled reporter would sacrifice both her family and her career to maintain her journalistic integrity.
