This acclaimed drama, directed by Robert Redford, tells the true story behind the quiz show scandal of 1959. Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), a disgruntled former champion, prompts a congressional investigation into the popular game show TWENTY-ONE with his charge that the current champion, Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome professor who has become a celebrity, has been provided with answers by the producers. Rob Morrow stars as Dick Goodwin, the investigator on the case and the author of the book that inspired the film.

"...Redford's direction is fluid and self-effacing, and he draws fine performances from his cast..." -- Philip Kemp , (Sight and Sound)

"...A thoughtful, absorbing drama about moral ambiguity and the affability of evil....Fiennes' ability to project the pain behind a well-mannered fa�ade, to turn intellectual and emotional agony into a real and living thing, is devastating..." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times)

"...Robert Redford has directed QUIZ SHOW as entertainment, history and challenge....[The screenplay] is smart, subtle and ruthless..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times)
