English Summary: The film takes place during a 24-hour period. Henry Hackett is the workaholic metro editor of the New York Sun, a fictional New York City tabloid, who loves his job but the long hours and low pay are leading to discontent. He is at risk of the same fate as his editor-in-chief, Bernie White, who put his work first at the expense of his family. Bernie reveals to Henry that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and tries to track down his estranged daughter Deanne in an attempt to reconcile before his time is up. The paper's owner Graham Keighley faces dire financial straits, so he has managing editor Alicia Clark, Henry's nemesis, impose unpopular cutbacks, as she schemes to get a raise in her salary. Alicia is also having an affair with Sun reporter Carl. Henry's wife Martha, a Sun reporter on leave and about to give birth, is fed up because Henry seems to have less and less time for her, and she dislikes Alicia. She urges him to seriously consider an offer to leave the Sun and become an assistant managing editor at the New York Sentinel (based on The New York Times), which would mean more money and respectability for shorter hours, but may also be too boring for his tastes. Hungarian Summary: Henry, egy New York-i napilap sztárriportere értesül két üzletember meggyilkolásáról, amellyel színes bőrű fiatalokat gyanúsítanak. Arra kéri szerkesztőjét, hogy a lap csak néhány soros hírt közöljön, amíg ő utanajár az ügynek. Másnap kideríti, hogy a gyanúsítottak ártatlanok, ám az ügyeletes szerkesztőnő ekkorra már leadott egy szenzációhajhász anyagot, amely tényként kezeli a feketék bűnösségét.
