The first full-length trailer for Oliver Stone's long-awaited biographical thriller Snowden has finally arrived. The film tells the story of Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a gifted son of a family steeped in military and civil service who enlisted in the Army Reserve as a Special Forces candidate, worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, and acted as a contractor for the U.S. federal government. Stone's focus in Snowden, however, is directed toward the controversial figure's theft and disclosure of classified National Security Agency information.

The film (finally) opens in theaters on September 16th and also stars Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom WilkinsonRhys Ifans, and Nicolas Cage.
