Bombshell

With an ensemble as impressive as Bombshell's, it was inevitable that the film would capture your interest. The interesting title "Bombshell" also plays a huge part as well. Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie star in this political thriller about the collapse of larger-than-life media mogul Roger Aile - the former leader of Fox News who faced allegations of sexual misconduct and misbehavior before being fired with a $40 million golden parachute.

Bombshell attempts to capture the disturbing tones of the controversy by sharing the tale via two significant women, Fox News tie-downs Megyn Kelly (by Theron) and Gretchen (by Kidman), along with a fictionalized young producer, Kayla (Robbie), who is meant to represent a composite of more junior employees captured in Ailes' (John Lithgow) malignant orbit.

If you have not figured out the double meaning of the term Bombshell by now, it alludes to both how you characterize a scandal of this size and all the "blonde bombshells" that Fox News was renowned for putting in front of the lens, per Ailes' strict order. The movie's realistic storytelling and amazing acting from the main cast earn it the title of one of the best movies about journalism.
