Robert Redford’s Quiz Show unveils the insidious corruption at the heart of Twenty One, America’s favourite TV show in the 1950s, capturing the look and atmosphere of the time.
MC Jack Barry (Christopher McDonald) is the Svengali to competing “contestants”, brash Jewish Herbie Stempel (John Turturro) and WASP intellectual Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes). Rob Morrow is the legal eagle who uncovers the scam.
