In the aftermath of 9/11, as the trail in the hunt for Osama bin Laden seems to grow cold, a determined CIA agent begins a painstaking, decade-long search for the Al Qaeda leader. For Maya, direct experience of terrorism steels her resolve to find bin Laden and leads her to trust her own instincts regarding the best course of investigation to pursue.

To the Academy, thank you, this is such an honor. Kathryn, what a fantastic
movie. And my crew. I was fortunate to be here a few years with The Hurt Locker.
I was awarded two of these. I woke up in the morning, 7:00 and our son said,
“One for mommy, one for daddy.” And he looked at me and said, “Where’s mine?”
And Theo, I love you. Karen, I love you. Mom watching at home, I love you. My
dad, with God now, I love you, I miss you. Good night. Thank you.
