Henry Hackett (Michael Keaton) is the metro editor of the New York Sun, a fictional,[1] New York City tabloid. He is a workaholic who loves his job, but the long hours and low pay are leading to discontent. Also, the paper's publisher, Graham Keighley (Jason Robards) faces financial straits, and has hatchetman managing editor Alicia Clark (Glenn Close), Henry's nemesis, impose unpopular cutbacks. Henry's wife Martha (Marisa Tomei), a hugely pregnant former reporter of his, is fed up because he has so little time for his family. He is therefore considering an offer from Paul Bladden (Spalding Gray) to serve as an assistant managing editor at the New York Sentinel, a fictional newspaper based on The New York Times, which would mean more money, shorter hours, more respectability ... but might also be a bit boring for his tastes. But a hot story soon confronts Henry with tough decisions.
