StorylineBalls-out 60 Minutes (1968) Producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) sniffs a story when a formerresearch biologist for Brown & Williamson, Jeff Wigand (Russell Crowe), won't talk to him.When the company leans hard on Wigand to honor a confidentiality agreement, he gets hisback up. Trusting Bergman, and despite a crumbling marriage, he goes on camera for a MikeWallace (Christopher Plummer) interview and risks arrest for contempt of court. Westinghouseis negotiating to buy CBS, so CBS attorneys advise CBS News to shelve the interview andavoid a lawsuit. 60 Minutes (1968) and CBS News bosses cave, Wigand is hung out to dry,Bergman is compromised, and the CEOs of Big Tobacco may get away with perjury. Will thetruth come out? Written by

Did You Know?TriviaWigand tells his entering chemistry class that their first experiment would be to "measure themolecular weight of butane." Student comprehension of a topic as complex as this wouldrequire background knowledge of chemistry. But, by failing to raise their hands to indicate theyhad such knowledge, the students would likely not have been able to understand this as theirfirst lesson in the subject. See more »
