For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden. “Zero Dark Thirty” reunites the Oscar winning team of director-producer Kathryn Bigelow and writer-producer Mark Boal, “The Hurt Locker,” for the story of history’s greatest manhunt for the world’s most dangerous man.
The film follows the career of CIA agent, Maya, in her singularly focused mission to locate and track Osama Bin Laden over an eight year period. After multiple false leads, an attempt on her life, and personal introspection, Maya pieces together the pieces that inexorably lead to the assault on Bin Laden’s Islamabad compound.
