Good Night, And Good Luck

George Clooney's new film takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950s America. It chronicles the real-life conflict between TV news man Edward R Murrow (played by David Strathairn) and Senator Joseph McCarthy.

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 regardless and their tenacity eventually pays off when McCarthy is brought before the Senate...
