The one-minute forty-one-second trailer starts with a man describing that the "simple truth of the world" is all about someone winning or losing. Where he refers Streep's character, Ellen Martin a loser, as she lost a great deal of money to Panamanian law firm partners Jurgen Mossack and Ramon Fonseca, portrayed by Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas respectively.
