Robert Redford brings the nostalgia of a TV-crazed America to the big screen in this engrossing and often silly true story of the real-life quiz show scandals that were exposed in the late 1950s.

"An unerringly-directed movie with an exceptional screenplay, outstanding performances, and a riveting story."

- Gene Shalit, THE TODAY SHOW

"QUIZ SHOW is easily Redford’s best film. John Turturro does his most mesmerizing action yet. Ralph Fiennes makes Charles Van Doren fascinating. Rob Morrow is winningly sly."

- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Two enthusiastic thumbs up!"

- SISKEL & EBERT

"A thoughtful, absorbing drama. Played by Ralph Fiennes with a subtlety that is at least the equal of his Oscar® nominated performance in SCHINDLER’S LIST. Impressive."

- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
