Watch online: Truth Above All - 08, the latest high-scoring film featuring Kate Beckinsale, "Truth Above All," with Chinese and English subtitles on DVD.

Rachel, a female journalist over thirty played by Kate Beckinsale, is currently facing a big problem: She obtained some intelligence from her informant Erica (played by Vera Farmiga). If she publishes it in the newspaper as it is, it will surely make her famous, but at the same time, she might also get involved in more complicated events. The content of this intelligence involves a very disgraceful act by the US government: during a military operation against a small country in South America, the government ostensibly eliminated terrorists, but in reality, it contained a sinister conspiracy... Rachel has a happy family, and her husband Ray Armstrong (played by David Hyde) supports her to publish the article truthfully. With her husband's support and her innate sense of justice, Rachel published this news report in the newspaper.

As expected, this news caused a huge sensation across the United States, and all the media and the public now know Rachel. But trouble also came her way. The US government detained her on the grounds of leaking national security secrets. Lawyer Alan (played by Alan Alda) forced her to reveal who provided the information. However, citing press freedom and freedom of speech, Rachel did not disclose Erica or her identity. Alan began to exert pressure on public opinion and Rachel's family, and Rachel's husband Ray gradually could not withstand the pressure from the state and suggested that Rachel yield to the state. But Rachel expressed her determination to Ray: the truth above all.

In the end, the US government prosecuted Rachel for leaking state secrets and brought her to court. The case was presided over by an arrogant prosecutor Patton (played by Matt Dillon). In court, facing Patton's relentless questioning, Rachel calmly narrated the entire event from start to finish, and the balance in the hearts of the public began to tilt towards Rachel. But Alan insisted that Rachel must reveal who provided the information, and Rachel gradually found herself in a dilemma...
