Nothing But The Truth (film)

Nothing But The Truth is a 2008 thriller written and directed by Rod Lurie. The story centers on a female newspaper reporter (Kate Beckinsale) who outs a CIA agent and is imprisoned for refusing to reveal her source. Actor David Schwimmer plays Beckinsale's husband and Angela Bassett is the supportive editor in chief at the Washington newspaper where Beckinsales character works. Actor Noah Wyle portrays the lawyer placed in charge of defending her. The cast includes Matt Dillon as the prosecutor, Vera Farmiga as the CIA agent, and Alan Alda as the attorney who tries to free the reporter from jail.

Nothing but the Truth parallels the case of Valerie Plame, whose status as a CIA agent was exposed in the media after her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, wrote a New York Times op-ed piece charging the Bush administration with manipulating intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Filming (in Memphis, Tennessee) began in 2007 for release on December 19, 2008.

Nothing But The Truth Characters
Owen Gleiberman reveals that the film "offers fictionalized versions of the outed CIA agent Valerie Plame and the jailed-for-refusing-to-reveal-her-source New York Times reporter Judith Miller," i.e. CIA operative Erica Van Doren played by Vera Farminga and DC reporter Rachel Armstrong played by Kate Beckinsale. Gleiberman writes that "Farmiga inhabits the agent with an anger both justified and reckless," while "Beckinsale makes Rachel a fierce yet fragile dry-eyed martyr, but not a saint."

Rod insists his film is not intended to be an accurate depiction of the Plame Affair, but merely a vehicle to explore a similar situation, which he then takes several steps further.

"You look at the story that happened in reality, and Judy Miller gets some sort of permission to speak and then speaks. So what? Nothing really big came of the whole thing," explained Lurie in an interview published prior to the film's release. "I tried to make a movie that's a commercial thriller as well as being something that's topical."
