Fake news. Real disaster.
A radio journalist and his technician get in over their heads when they hatch a scheme to fake their own kidnapping during a rebel uprising in South America and hide out in New York instead.
German (Deutsch)
Frank Bonneville ist ein Radiojournalist aus New York, der seiner Karriere neuen Schwung verleihen möchte. Schließlich haben ihm seine arrogante Geisteshaltung und sein dekadenter Lebensstil nicht dabei geholfen, wirklich erfolgreich zu werden. Um seinen Job zu retten, gibt er vor, sich ins Krisengebiet von Ecuador zu begeben und direkt von der Front zu berichten. Aber in Wirklichkeit macht er es sich mit seinem Kollegen Ian Finch in einem Gebäude direkt gegenüber seines Senders bequem und schickt unbemerkt falsche Nachrichten durch den Äther. Ihr falsches Spiel droht allerdings aufzufliegen, als Bonnevilles Rivale Baker die beiden im Fernsehen für vermisst erklärt und sie prompt zu Helden der Nation erklärt werden, nach denen gesucht werden müsste. Für Bonneville und Finch gibt es nur einen Ausweg – sie müssen wirklich nach Ecuador.

Per incrementare gli indici di ascolto del suo programma radiofonico, un giornalista escogita un piano con il suo tecnico del suono: i due decidono di inscenare il loro sequestro durante una rivolta in un paese sudamericano. Per mettere in atto ciò, si nascondono a New York. Le cose però prendono una piega molto differente da quella che avevano prospettato.
