Herb Stempel is the reigning champion of quiz show Twenty-One. But, the show's producers are noticing that his approval ratings are leveling out, so they would be wise to introduce some new competition. So, they turn to Charles Van Doren, and hey ask him only questions he got right in his audition. He wins after guessing the right answer on one of those, and Stempel deliberately gets a question wrong, having been promised a future in TV. His winning streak to come makes him famous, and eventually he lets the producers Dan Enright and Albert Freedman give him the answers. But, soon, Herb Stempel threatens legal action against NBC, and lawyer Frank Hogan actually does take legal action (And Van Doren's moral compass acts up, too). This movie shows the battle for Twenty-One.
I liked this movie because it has a law aspect, which is exciting, and the aggravating parts make you want to watch more. (The law doesn't always win.) Some parts are slow, and some are fast. Altogether, it is a solid movie.
