A cave collapse traps a man and all eyes turn toward the tragedy...including those of Charles "Chuck" Tatum (Kirk Douglas), a washed-up newspaper reporter who sees the incident as a ticket back to the top of the journalism heap. As a media circus begins to swirl around the trapped man and his plight, Tatum takes command of the situation, embellishing on the unfolding drama and prolonging the rescue effort...while feeding stories to the numerous reporters clamouring to cover the event.

Celebrated director Billy Wilder mixes gritty cynicism with a superb cast - Douglas, Jan Sterling, Bob Arthur, Frank Cady - in this powerful, gripping study of the dark side of the human soul.
