Synopsis

"Wife. Mother. Spy."

Inspired by true events from the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA operative Valerie (Naomi Watts). The victim of a politically motivated press leak that was targeted at her exposing her covert identity, Valerie Flame's career was destroyed in the fallout and marriage strained to breaking point.

FAIR GAME is a riveting action thriller that unfolds when Valerie leads a CIA investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Her husband, diplomat Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) is drawn into the investigation to corroborate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger.

When the administration ignores Joe's findings using the report instead to justify its actions for the invasion of Iraq, he reveals the facts in a New York Times editorial igniting an already explosive situation.
