Tally Atwater (Michelle Pfeiffer) is determined to capture a coveted news anchor position ? a spot many assured her she would never achieve. Rising from small-town weathergirl to prime-time anchor, she meets Warren Justice (Robert Redford), a brilliant, older newsman who becomes her mentor and lover. As their relationship grows, so too doesTally?s popularity, which soon eclipses Warren?s. Now she must weigh her drive to succeed against her passion for life, and see if their relationship can survive.
Synopsis: This is a telling of the Jessica Savitch story, the newswoman who, in the 1970's, became the "First Woman Anchor". Sally/Tally is taken under the wing of Warren in a Miami newsroom and becomes a news star on TV. Despite her love for Warren, she takes the big chance and moves on to Philadelphia, where he follows to rescue her faltering career at the cost of his own.
