Based on true events, the film focuses on the female journalists at Fox News who came forward with sexual harassment allegations against the company's CEO Roger Ailes (John Lithgow). During the 2016 presidential election, news anchor Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) generates national headlines when she questions candidate Donald Trump's treatment of women during a live debate. Meanwhile, Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) prepares to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes but must find other victims willing to come forward if the case is to succeed. (Lionsgate UK)
