What happens in Truth from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Months before the 2004 US presidential election, Mary Mapes, a producer for 60 Minutes Wednesday, teams up with a small crew—Mike Smith, Lucy Scott, and Colonel Colonel Roger Charles—in a meticulous pursuit to verify whether George W. Bush received any preferential treatment during his military service. Charles, who believes the military “is good at what they do,” contends there were no mistakes or errors, even as rumors persist that Bush’s records were lost or altered and that he struggled with minimal physical aptitude testing. With a stubborn commitment to proof, Mapes and her team chase down leads, including Bill Burkett, who claims to possess memos and letters detailing Bush’s favorable treatment and a 1972 AWOL period.
