The official trailer for the movie "Snowden"

The premiere will be held September 16, 2016

Nearly three years have passed since the former NSA officer Edward Snowden published documents about secret mass surveillance programs. Documents changed the way Americans and the whole world view the US government. Under the threat of accusation of treason, Snowden is now hiding somewhere in Russia. This did not prevent the director Oliver Stone, who met with him several times during the shooting of a feature film.

Yesterday the first official trailer of this exciting picture of the lone hero was published . The young guy just wanted to benefit his homeland. Until I found out the truth.

In the main role of the film “ Snowden ” - Joseph Gordon-Levitt, remotely similar to his character. The plot is based on real events. Perhaps from this picture we even learn some details of the story, previously unknown. For example, an episode when he hid an SD card with secret documents in the Rubik's Cube and in the original way avoided checking it in a checkpoint scanner at the exit from the NSA building. Very similar to fiction.



But who knows, all of a sudden such an incredible technique was actually used? Edward himself has not yet commented on this episode .


In any case, for those people who are well acquainted with the story of Edward Snowden and sincerely sympathize with him, goose bumps run from watching this trailer.

In one episode, a senior intelligence officer said: "Most Americans do not want freedom, they need security."

“They don’t even know that they made such a deal,” replies Snowden.

The trailer briefly shows the whole career of Edward Snowden: from serving as a reservist to working at the NSA and fleeing the country.


Official trailer, 2 min. 39s.

The premiere of the film in the United States is scheduled for September 16, 2016, with a delay of more than a year from the original term, unless the film is banned. In contrast, from other countries , in the United States are not taken to prohibit the movies.
