Synopsis:
"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.
