Synopsis

When a young man is trapped in a New Mexico rockslide, dissipated and deeply cynical newspaper reporter Kirk Douglas sees it as an opportunity for career advancement and he creates a media circus around the tragedy. Billy Wilder’s diagnosis of something broken in the 20th Century American character still rings true today.
