"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.

I don't usually enjoy these sorts of movies, but I really liked this one a lot.
Powerful film on freedom of speech vs. the government. Gorgeous B&W cinematography, fantastic pacing and incredible acting by Strathairn. Great film overall.
Fantastic! I love the story and the first scene where he does the speech is great!
Very well-shot, delving into a period of U.S. history I was always curious about. I continue to admire Clooney's tendency of not choosing easy projects.
