Strong is joined by Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison (Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood) and Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White<\/a> (The Bear, Shameless) in the feature film set for release in cinemas October 2026.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve witnessed the rise of Facebook, but this time the film follows the explosive 2021 investigative series by The Wall Street Journal that gave rise to The Facebook Files.<\/p>\n

The files exposed the platform\u2019s harmful effect on teens and their mental health<\/a>, content moderation policies and its role in the political space and global spread of misinformation. <\/p>\n

Inspired by a true story, young Facebook engineer Frances Haugen (Madison) enlists the help of a Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (White), to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social media giant. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am here to make things very clear… I am here to help Facebook not hurt it, OK?\u201d Haugen says in the first-look trailer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cSenior leadership knows, and it\u2019s doing nothing,\u201d she says moments before we see scenes of Zuckerberg going to trial. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 102 hours to get everything.\u201d <\/p>\n
