Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) is looking for a story to bring him back to the big time and finds what just what he needs with a man trapped by a cave in. Everybody is this film exhibits some type of moral flaw, even the subject of our pity (the trapped man) is a grave robber. A very cynical portrayal of the media, well worth watching.
