Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Starring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow and Margot Robbie, based on the real scandal, BOMBSHELL is a revealing look inside the most powerful and controversial media empire of all time; Fox News, and the explosive story of the women who brought down the infamous man who created it. Directed by Emmy® Award winner Jay Roach and written by Academy Award® winner Charles Randolph.”
The film centers upon female Fox News personnel and their allegations against founder Roger Ailes. Told from the viewpoint of women, the film dramatizes accusations of sexual harassment and a toxic male culture. As a result of Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit, other women such as Julie Roginsky made similar claims, and Ailes resigned from Fox News in 2016.
