About this movie

Holly Hunter is Jane Craig, the network's most talented young new producer, lost in her work and loving it to distraction. Albert Brooks is Aaron Altman, a brilliant, dedicated reporter's reporter who is utterly devoid of on-camera charisma. William Hurt is Tom Grunick, a handsome guy and a natural salesman -- the perfect modern anchorman. If you want to know what's happening in the world...ask Jane. If you want to know what's wrong with the world...ask Aaron. If you want to know how it feels to be on top of the world...ask Tom. The only thing in the world they don't know yet is what they mean to each other. Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks and William Hurt star in BROADCAST NEWS, a romantic comedy set in the world of network television news correspondents, the first film from writer/director/producer James L. Brooks since his Academy Award-winning® Terms of Endearment.
