    Political thriller Fair Game stars the ever-brilliant Naomi Watts as CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, who was exposed publicly as a spy in 2003 in retaliation for her husband Joseph Wilson‘s (Sean Penn) New York Times article about the Bush Adminstration’s motives behind the invasion of Iraq.

    The film is adapted from Plame-Wilson’s 2007 book Fair Game and co-stars Bruce McGill (Obsessed, Law Abiding Citizen), Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Brooke Smith (Grey’s Anatomy), Sam Shepard (The Notebook, Brothers) and Dave Denman (The Office).

    Fair Game will be in theaters on November 5 via Summit / E1 Entertainment. Here is the official synopsis, and you can watch the trailer below:

    As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie’s husband, diplomat Joe Wilson, is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe writes a New York Times editorial outlining his conclusions and igniting a firestorm of controversy.

    Soon after, Valerie’s covert status is reported by a high-profile Washington journalist. With her cover blown and her overseas contacts placed in mortal danger, Valerie is pushed to the breaking point as her career and private life collapse. After years serving the government, Valerie–a mother, a wife and a field officer with an impeccable record–now struggles to save her reputation, her career and her family.
