Remember when Facebook was looked at as a fun, benevolent way to meet people and share pictures of your cats? There were things happening behind closed doors that made Facebook more than a bit suspicious. Here’s the logline, and the teaser trailer, for The Social Reckoning, a movie that tells the story of how the inner workings of Facebook became public knowledge.
A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé “The Facebook Files.” The film is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
I wonder how many likes this trailer will get. Decide for yourself.
From Sony Pictures Releasing, The Social Reckoning is slated for theatrical release on October 9, 2026.
