Starring
Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, Sam Shepard

In this gripping portrayal Naomi Watts stars as Valerie Plame, a covert officer in the CIA's counter-proliferation department who discovers that, contrary to the belief of many in the US government, Iraq has no active nuclear weapons program.

Sean Penn stars as Valerie's Foreign Service diplomat husband Joseph Wilson who is sent to Africa to investigate rumours of possible sales of enriched uranium to Iraq. Finding no such deals, Joe writes an article for New York Times outlining his conclusions, igniting a firestorm of controversy.

Soon Valerie's top-secret identity is leaked to high-profile Washington journalists. With her cover blown and her overseas contacts left vulnerable, Valerie is pushed to the breaking point as her career and private life collapse.
