It's 1953, and
the piece of talking furniture called TV is still a novelty in
America's living rooms. On it, Sen. Joseph McCarthy uses fear,
falsehoods and belligerence to become arguably the most powerful man
in the land. On it, newsman Edward R. Murrow, who's had his fill of
the senator's tactics, fights back.
That pivotal clash of two titans is the focus of director/co-writer
George Clooney's award-winning Good Night, and Good Luck.
David Strathairn portrays Murrow, the principled "face of
television" who maps his strategy with his producer and confident,
Fred Friendly (Colony). A deft ensemble plays staff members in the
bustling battleground that is the CBS newsroom. McCarthy is in the
mix, too, intercut into the action via real-life footage. Don't
touch that dial. A media and a nation are going to change - while on
the air.
