1950s America. Senator McCarthy is on his witch-hunt against American intellectuals, writers and filmmakers. Edward R. Murrow, CBS's uncompromising lead anchorman, confronts the senator on the nightly news. George Clooney's second film as director uses extraordinary b&w cinematography, a superb jazz soundtrack and an impressive cast of actors (with McCarthy himself being shown only in archival footage).
