Oliver Stone says his political thriller about whistleblower Edward Snowden explores a "secret underworld".
The director was speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Snowden had its world premiere.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the US National Security Agency contractor who fled to Russia in 2013 having revealed extensive internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
"This is a secret underworld and no one in the NSA has come forward," Stone told a press conference on Saturday.
"It's a detective story - it goes into something we don't know.
