Directed by Oliver Stone, Snowden will tell the real-life story of CIA employee Edward Snowden, who leaked thousands of classified documents to the press. The film co-stars Nicolas Cage, Zachary Quinto, Melissa Leo and Tom Richardson and is slated for a December release.
Snowden made waves in 2013 when he released documents datailing two NSA surveillance programs authorized by congress as he believed they invaded Americans freedom. He currently resides in Russia where he has been granted political asylum.
