The CIA's involvement in the film industry is an extension of its broader efforts to use media as a tool for public influence and psychological operations. By influencing scripts, providing technical assistance, and shaping the portrayal of American intelligence operations, the CIA has used Hollywood as a vehicle for promoting favorable narratives, supporting U.S. foreign policy, and shaping global perceptions of the U.S. as a force for good in the world. This form of propaganda has been subtle yet pervasive, blending entertainment with ideological messaging that serves American interests.
