Zero Dark Thirty

Description

Zero Dark Thirty dramatizes the decade-long intelligence hunt that ended with the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. Jessica Chastain plays Maya, a CIA analyst whose sustained focus gives the film its procedural spine, while Kathryn Bigelow stages the investigation as a chain of partial leads, institutional setbacks, and operational decisions rather than as a conventional battlefield story.

Bigelow directed Mark Boal's screenplay and produced the film with Boal and Megan Ellison. It opened in limited release on December 19, 2012 before expanding nationwide on January 11, 2013; AFI and Paramount+ both record a 157-minute runtime. As of October 30, 2026, exact U.S. title pages confirm that Zero Dark Thirty is included with both Paramount+ and Netflix subscriptions.
