Good night, and good luck Cover Image DVD DVD

Good night, and good luck [videorecording] / Warner Independent Pictures, 2929 Entertainment and Participant Productions in associations with Davis Films, Redbus Pictures and Tohokushinsha ; a Section Eight production ; directed by George Clooney ; written by George Clooney & Grant Heslov ; produced by Grant Heslov.

Summary:

Takes place in the 1950's America, during the early days of broadcast journalism. 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.
