George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr. & David
Strathairn star in this Oscar nominated historical drama, also directed by
Clooney, examining one of the ugliest periods in American political history. Set
during the early days of broadcast journalism, Good
Night, and Good Luck chronicles the conflict between news pioneer Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House
Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire to report the facts, Murrow,
and his dedicated staff defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the
lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist
witch-hunts. (USA, 2005, 93 mins, PG,
