Shock and Awe

Based on a true story, SHOCK AND AWE follows two determined reporters, Jonathan Landay (Woody Harrelson) and Warren Stroebel (James Marsden), their boss, John Walcott (Rob Reiner), and war correspondent, Joe Galloway (Tommy Lee Jones), who lift the lid on abuse of power at its highest level and expose the truth about what led Americans into the longest and costliest war in their history. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the Bush administration declares war in Iraq on the basis of Saddam’s government holding weapons of mass destruction and harboring terrorists. In the tradition of ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, the two reporters chase down leads and utilize anonymous government sources to discover the President’s rationale for going to war is based on lies and falsified intelligence.
