WINNER is based on the true story of Reality Winner (Emilia Jones from the Oscar Winning film Coda and High-Rise), an Air Force linguist who went to work for the National Security Agency (NSA). She eventually blew the whistle on the NSA, revealing to the public that the U.S. government knew there was Russian interference in the 2016 election. Her actions landed her in prison, where she was faced with extreme punishment because, according to her, the government sought to make an example out of her. The film also portrays Winner's home life, including the differences between her social worker mother (Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights and the White Lotus) and and her staunchly activist father (Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover trilogy and Due Date), her layered relationship with her sister (Kathryn Newton from Big Little Lies and Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania), and her intense focus on doing what she feels is right.
