Filmen basert på den sanne historien om Boston Globes avsløringer av en massiv skandale i den katolske kirken, som hadde forsøkt å dekke over en rekke overgrep mot barn utført av prester. En av årets store Oscar-favoritter, blant annet med nominasjon for beste film. I 2001 begynte Boston Globe å etterforske en nyhetssak om at flere prester i den katolske kirken hadde foregrepet seg på barn. Etterhvert som avisens Spotlight-redaksjon gravde dypere, skulle sannheten vise seg å være langt mer omfattende og skremmende enn de hadde sett for seg. Filmen tar for seg det enestående arbeidet redaksjonen gjorde for å rette søkelyset mot fakta som mektige krefter iherdig forsøkte å dysse ned.
