01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In 1958, the questions and answers to be used for the latest broadcast of NBC's popular quiz show ''Twenty-One (game show)'' are transported from a secure bank vault to the studio. The evening's main attraction is Queens resident Herb Stempel (John Turturro), the reigning champion, who correctly answers question after question. However, both the network and the program's corporate sponsor, the supplementary tonic Geritol, find that Stempel's approval ratings are beginning to level out, meaning the show would benefit from new talent.
