| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
"Good Night, And Good Luck." takes place during
the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950's America.
It chronicles the real-life conflict between television newsman
Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House
Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire to report
the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated
staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba
in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures
to examine the lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated
by McCarthy during his communist 'witch-hunts'. A very public
feud develops when the Senator responds by accusing the anchor
of being a communist. In this climate of fear and reprisal,
the CBS crew carries on and their tenacity will prove historic
and monumental.
