The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as eponymous Whistleblower, Edward Snowden, with Tom Wilkinson, Zachary Quinto and Nicolas Cage in supporting roles.Disillusioned with the intelligence community, top contractor Edward Snowden leaves his job at the National Security Agency. He now knows that a virtual mountain of data is being assembled to track all forms of digital communication — not just from foreign governments and terrorist groups, but from ordinary Americans. When Snowden decides to leak this classified information, he becomes a traitor to some, a hero to others and a fugitive from the law.

Adult Fear: At one point, the NSA is trying to get hold of a man they could use to track someone else. As it happens, soon after this the man's daughter non-lethally overdoses on sleeping pills, giving his father a reason to stay in the city. When Ed realizes his workplace was behind this, he's clearly upset, and asks what if she had died. He's told that they had a backup plan in case that happened.

Broken Pedestal: While Ed starts the film idolizing America, seeing how much the USA spies on its own citizens and how corrupt the system can be slowly wears him down. After seeing what the NSA did under George W. Bush, he couldn't be happier to hear Barack Obama say he's not going to continue Bush's program. Ed is very disappointed to find out that Obama actually didn't change anything.
