Directed by robert redford, this true life tale tells the story of nbc quiz show 21 in the 50s which was found guilty of fixing programs, and giving certain contestants answers. ralph finnes, stars as a wealthy proffessor who is involed in one of the fixes, and john turtorro, as a former fixee, bitter when hes not needed anymore, and brings the acusations, to a investigator played by rob morrow, a great look at the tv industry of the 50s, and really how much things have changed, suberb performances all round, turtorro and finnes are amazing, and also, a small role, from director, martain scorsese, as the shows sponsor, whos in on the scam.
