Go behind the scandal that rocked television and the world with Robert Redford’s true-life story of the scam of the mid-century! John Turturro is magnificent as Queens-born Herbie Stempel becomes an unlikely hero after winning on America’s beloved game show, “Twenty One.” When the network decides to bring in a more telegenic contestant, the WASP-ish Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), Stempel decides to take the show down with him, announcing that the game is rigged. Now the show has got to answer for its misdeeds and a congressional investigator is brought it to discover the truth behind America’s favorite game. Engrossing from start to finish, with incredible performances from Turturro and Fienes, this Oscar-nominated winner is the real deal – no lie!

Remembering Robert Redford

Robert Redford’s legacy is not only in the films he made, but in the way he lived – committed to the power of human and earthly connection, to truth, storytelling, and showing us that championing artists and sharing stories is pivotal to a healthy, open society.  Off screen, he championed the environment, independent voices, and the radical idea that stories can change the world. All who love and make movies are forever indebted to Redford and the path he forged. We’ll remain ever mindful of his constant message that storytelling is activism and that movies are a powerful force for hope.
