晚安，好运

这部电影记载了上世纪中叶美国一场轰烈的政治抗争，此次对抗冲突是美国新闻界和政治史册上不可或缺的一页。 　　在冷战的背景下，参议员约瑟夫•麦卡锡（Joseph McCarthy Himself）作为新兴政治人物崛起，他以反共产主义的政治立场而闻名。麦卡锡用强硬的手腕，搜集国会内的共产主义分子资料，实行高压的政治迫害，意欲掀起席卷政坛的反共风潮。 　　美国哥伦比亚电视台的新闻记者爱德华（大卫·斯特雷泽恩 David Strathairn饰）和他的同事们对这个政治阴谋坚决抗争。他们用自己的新闻理想、新闻阵地，毫无退缩地与麦卡锡主义对抗到底，并把这个丑陋的政客拉下政治舞台。爱德华和他的同事，成为了美国历史上的传奇人物。In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. However, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge McCarthy and expose him for the fear monger he was. However, their actions took a great personal toll on both men, but they stood by their convictions and helped to bring down one of the most controversial senators in American history.
