The film records a vigorous political struggle in the United States in the middle of the last century, which is an indispensable page in the American press and political history. In the context of the Cold War, Senator Joseph McCarthy (Joseph McCarthy Himself) rose as an emerging political figure, known for his anti-communist political stance. McCarthy used tough tactics to collect data on communists in Congress and carried out high-handed political persecution, intending to set off an anti-communist tide sweeping the political arena. Edward, a journalist for Columbia Television (David Straitzean David Strathairn) and his colleagues are determined to fight against this political conspiracy. They used their news ideals and news positions to fight McCarthyism to the end without flinching, and pulled this ugly politician off the political stage. Edward and his colleagues became legends in American history.
