As a connoisseur of biopics and a firm believer in the power of truth, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming release of “Winner.” The tale of Reality Winner, portrayed by the captivating Emilia Jones, is one that resonates deeply with my sense of justice and my unyielding admiration for those who dare to stand up against oppressive forces.
The trailer for “Winner,” a grimly humorous biographical film, has been unveiled by Vertical. Emilia Jones, known for her role in Locke and Key, takes on the title character who is the American whistleblower and ex-National Security Agency contractor Reality Winner.
The forthcoming movie, helmed by Susanna Fogel (The Spy Who Dumped Me), is set to present an alternate perspective on the real-life events surrounding Reality Winner’s story. This stands as a separate adaptation from HBO’s 2023 production featuring Sydney Sweeney that also explores her tale.
The movie “Winner” is scheduled to debut in theaters on September 13, 2024. Notably, Fogel not only directed this film but also co-wrote it with Kerry Howley.
What happens in the Winner Trailer?
The trailer provides a glimpse into Reality’s formative years in Texas and her career with the U.S. Air Force, eventually leading to her employment at the NSA. Moreover, it hints that the forthcoming film will delve into the consequences of Reality Winner leaking documents exposing the Russian government’s alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections.

The official synopsis for Winner reads as follows:
“Reality Winner is a brilliant young misfit from a Texas border town who loves her pink gun almost as much as helping others. After teaching herself Arabic in high school so she can be of service in the Middle East, Reality is recruited by the Air Force but quickly becomes disillusioned when she finds her morals challenged. After transitioning to a money gig as an NSA contractor, Reality stumbles upon government secrets regarding Russia’s election hacking during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Does she expose the truth or keep quiet? Ultimately, she decides to leak the truth leading to her trial and historic sentencing for espionage.”
In addition to Jones portraying Reality Winner, the upcoming biopic features Connie Britton playing Billie Winner, Danny Ramirez acting as Andre, Kathryn Newton representing Brittany Winner, and Zach Galifianakis depicting Ron Winner.
