Aaron Sorkin's Facebook Leak Drama Reaches Theaters Friday

The Social Reckoning held its U.S. premiere Sunday at the Regal Union Square in New York, following earlier screenings in London and Paris, and Deadline reports the Aaron Sorkin-helmed film opens in theaters Friday. It dramatizes the 2021 Facebook leak by whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz, with Mikey Madison playing Haugen. That casting choice points the story at the person who took the material out rather than at the platform it came from — an accountability drama told from the leaker's side of the desk, which is a different animal from a story about how a company got built.
