lt's 1953, and the piece of taIking furniture caIIed TV is stiII a noveIty in America's living rooms. On it, Sen. Joseph McCarthy uses fear, faIsehoods and beIligerence to become arguably the most powerfuI man in the land. On it, newsman Edward R. Murrow, who's had his filI of the senator's tactics, fights back.
That pivotal cIash 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 teIevision" who maps his strategy with his producer and confident, Fred FriendIy A deft ensembIe plays staff members in the bustIing battIeground that is the CBS newsroom. McCarthy is in the mix, too, intercut into the action via real-Iife footage. Don't touch that dial. A media and a nation are going to change - while on the air.
