The Interview

Dave Skylark, a flamboyant TV host, and his producer, Aaron Rapoport, run a popular celebrity tabloid show. When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of their program, they manage to secure an exclusive interview with him. Seizing on the opportunity, the CIA recruits them to assassinate Kim. They reluctantly agree, more excited by the chance to prove themselves as serious journalists. Upon arriving in North Korea, they are surrounded by the heavily controlled and propaganda-filled environment designed to portray Kim as a benevolent leader.

As they prepare for the interview, both Dave and Aaron navigate a series of unexpected encounters and growing doubts about their mission. Dave is charmed by Kim's apparent friendliness, while Aaron deals with technical strains and the duplicitous nature of their task. Throughout these events, the line between genuine information and state-manufactured lies becomes increasingly blurred, causing internal conflicts. As complications mount, the duo's initial resolve is tested, revealing the complex layers behind their assignment and making them reconsider what journalism and accountability truly mean.
