A research chemist comes under personal and professional attack when he decides to appear in a “60 Minutes” expose on Big Tobacco. This film, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards, is based on the true story of Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), a whistleblower in the tobacco industry who exposed lies Big Tobacco told for decades about cigarettes. He served as a central witness in lawsuits filed by all 50 states (most notably Mississippi), which were eventually settled for $246 billion.
