The movie disclosure is a combination mystery and thriller about office politics and
intrigue in the computer industry in the mid 1990s. The main focus of the story from
which the film and book take their titles is the issue of sexual harassment. Later, as Tom
makes a phone call to a colleague, Meredith interrupts him, then she begins kissing
him, and almost ended up having a sexual intercourse, luckily he sees himself in a
mirror and realizes, "I can't do this." He backs off of Meredith, who alleges that he can't
just leave. She flies into a rage, shouting after him as he leaves. Tom returns home
confused, scarred by Meredith's fingernails on his chest, and disgusted by what had
occurred - but he decides not to tell his wife. The next day, he discovers that Meredith
has filed sexual harassment charges against him. Philip Blackburn (Dylan Baker), the
company lawyer, who he thought was a friend, then comes to his office and suggests a
job in Austin, Texas. But Tom refuses and soon finds that colleagues are now also being
turned against him. In the meantime, he receives an email from "A Friend" suggesting
he look at today's newspaper. This is a mysterious helper, who through the rest of the
movie provides Tom with clues to help him beat the accusations and save his job. Tom
overhears Meredith talking to Philip (Dylan Baker) that even if they slipped him through
the harassment accusation, they'll make him look incompetent at next morning's merger
conference. If the problems with the CD-ROMs are shown as coming from the
production line, which is under Tom's responsibility, he can be fired for cause. Tom
attempts look for clues in the company database regarding the talk he overheard. But
his access privileges have been revoked. He remembers that the merging company's
executives have a DigiCom virtual reality demonstration machine in a hotel room with
access to company databases. He breaks in to use it, but as he gets into DigiCom's
files, he sees Meredith is already deleting them. Not knowing what to do, Tom receives
a call from a Malaysian colleague who gets Tom copies of incriminating memos and
videos. They show that Meredith was conspiring with the head of operations in
Malaysia, to change the plant and specifications Tom has implemented, so that
problems with the CD-ROMs will harm Tom's career. When Tom makes his presentation
at the conference and Meredith brings up the production problems, he shows the
memos and a video exposing her involvement in causing defects with the hardware.
Meredith says that Tom is mounting a last-ditch effort to take revenge on her.
Meredith was fired by Garvin who passes over Tom and names Stephanie Kaplan to the
post. Despite wishing for the position himself, Tom is pleased that his colleague has
been promoted. Tom asks Stephanie's son, Spencer, if he knows a "A Friend". Spencer
says he is Arthur Friend's research assistant at college. Tom realizes that Spencer
accessed Friend's office computer, meaning Stephanie through her son is likely the
"friend". Satisfied, Tom returns to his old position at the production division.
