Academy Award? winner Robert Redford's critically acclaimed triumph, 'Quiz Show', was cheered as "One of the Year's 10 Best" by over 80 critics nationwide. It's an exciting look behind-the-scenes at the thrills and high-stakes competition of TV's hottest big-money game show! But fame and fortune become a hotbed of scandal when a Washington investigator (Rob Morrow - 'Northern Exposure') uncovers corruption beneath the quiz show's glittering facade. The scandal implicates both the wildly popular champion (Ralph Fiennes - 1996 Academy Award? Best Actor nominee, 'The English Patient') and the disgruntled ex-champ (John Turturro - 'Rounders'). A powerful story with unforgettable performances - don't miss this suspense-filled hit!
Synopsis: Understated study of 50s quiz show scandals was embraced by critics more than audiences. Appeals to fans of serious dramas with its thought-provoking portrait of declining moral standards, low-key character portraits.
