"New York, 1958. Le jeune professeur Charles Van Doren accepte de se mesurer à Herbie Stempel, l'actuel champion du jeu télévisé "Twenty-one". Il parvient à le détrôner, à la grande satisfaction du producteur Dan Enright qui voit en Charles le compétiteur idéal pour séduire les téléspectateurs. Malagré ses réticences, Van Doren se prête ensuite chaque semaine à la supercherie mise au point par Enright, c'est-à-dire apprendre par coeur les réponses avant la diffusion de l'émission. Frustré d'avoir été évincé, Stempel traduit les producteurs en justice. Il est débouté, mais un avocat qui a eu vent de l'affaire décide de mener sa propre enquête."

"Nel 1958 scoppia negli USA uno scandalo su scala nazionale quando si scopre che un popolare gioco a indovinelli _ "Twenty-One", simile al nostro "Lascia o raddoppia?", che in quegli anni ogni lunedì sera chiamava cento milioni di telespettatori _ era manipolato a favore dei concorrenti più telegenici che tenevano alti gli indici di ascolto.

"Dieses packende [...] Kinoerlebnis basiert auf einem der grössten Skandale in der Geschichte der Fernsehunterhaltung, bei dem Millionen von Menschen getäuscht wurden: Herbie Stempel ist der ungekrönte König einer TV-Ratesendung, die Woche für Woche mehr als 58 Millionen Zuschauer vor den Bildschirm zieht. Als die Einschaltquoten sinken, wird Herbie, auf Druck des Werbesponsors, zu Fall gebracht. Mit dem jungen, charismatischen Universitätsdozenten Charles Van Doren gelingt es, einen neuen Fernsehhelden für die Nation zu erschaffen. Doch Stempel packt mit Hilfe des jungen, ehrgeizigen Anwalts Dick Goodwin aus: Die Sendung sei ein einziger grosser Massenbetrug, in den auch der allseits beliebte und angesehene Charles Van Doren verwickelt sei. EIne ganze Nation ist entsetzt. Doch die Wahrheit kennt nur Van Doren selbst... (Quelle: Umschlagtext)."
