In a quiet rural town in America, a mentally slightly impaired employee of the local museum has just fatally injured a friend and has taken a class of young students hostage.

For the fallen reporter, who fate has brought to the museum that morning, it is the perfect opportunity to re-enter the realm of major reporting. A story that reveals the ruthless games played in the name of television ratings.

A stunning film by Costa-Gavras.
