It appears all their efforts are in vain until Maya pours over some old files and notices a lead everyone thought was dead. Finally a bomb goes off inside a CIA base after agents instruct the guards to stand down and let a car carrying a man, whom they thought was a trusted informant, inside. The Marriot Hotel in Islamabad Pakistan craters when a huge explosive is detonated in 2008. A double-decker bus explodes in London in 2005. Like a locomotive on a straight track cutting across the desert, we follow this agent through the major terrorist events of the decade. With each passing year her involvement becomes deeper, her determination looks increasingly like obsession, and her demeanor gets more hardened. Her reply: “You can help yourself by being truthful.”Īnd so begins Maya’s quest. It appears that Maya is somewhat bothered by this at first, but she quickly comes up to the expectations of the agency when the prisoner, naked below the waist after defecating (rear nudity is seen), begs her for help. Our first introduction to Maya is at a CIA “black site” where she witnesses “enhanced interrogation” first hand when a captured terrorist financier (Reda Kateb) is water boarded (an infamous torture technique) by a senior agent named Dan (Jason Clarke). She begins her decade-long hunt for bin Laden shortly after the 9/11 attacks when she is sent to the Middle East to assist agents already on the hunt for any shred of information. The script supplies this female with the name Maya (played by Jessica Chastain). Yet somehow director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal managed to meet with some unnamed key people, including one woman who was integral in tracking down the most wanted man on the planet.
The identities of the tight knit group of CIA agents and military personnel responsible for completing the mission that ended in the death of Osama bin Laden are known to very few.
