Samenvatting
1958. De invloed van het nieuwe medium televisie neemt in kracht toe. De populaire tv-quiz 'Twenty-One' houdt wekelijks heel Amerika aan de buis gekluisterd. Maar kijkend Amerika wordt door deze show van haar onschuld beroofd wanneer de voormalige kandidaat Herbert Stempel onthult dat de deelnemers alle vragen en antwoorden van tevoren krijgen. De hele show blijkt dus opgezet spel te zijn en niet meer dan een weerzinwekkende strijd om de kijkcijfers.Credits
