身无分文的记者丘克(Kirk Douglas 饰)流落一座新墨西哥州的小城,他舌如巧簧向当地报馆的主编推销自己,宣称自己有制造新闻的天才。波澜不惊的小城生活让曾经供职纽约的丘克倍感无聊。这天,主编令丘克外出采访,丘克于路却意外遭遇一名小镇店主里奥被困山洞。丘克敏感的意识 到这件事情背后的新闻价值,他迅速联系州长、工程队与医生。随着丘克的一篇篇报道,观看施救过程的民众陆续赶来,本欲离开的里奥妻子因为看到有利可图而选择留下,并与丘克站到了同一阵营,丘克安排采用费时的营救方式来维持事件的新闻热度。几天内人群不断涌入,营救现场俨然成为游乐场。丘克与纽约的老上司讨价还价之时,洞中的里奥却走到了生命的尽头.Charles Tatum, a down-on-his-luck reporter, takes a job with a small New Mexico newspaper. The job is pretty boring until he finds a man trapped in an old Indian dwelling. He jumps at the chance to make a name for himself by taking over and prolonging the rescue effort, and feeding stories to major newspapers. He creates a national media sensation and milks it for all it is worth - until things go terribly wrong.

You're worried sick. That's the way the story goes.
Now get the smile off your face.
It's been a nice day, Chuck.
I feel like smiling.
You heard me. Get it off.
Make me.
That's more like it.
And don't wipe those tears. That's the way you're supposed to look.
Put on your wedding ring.
Go on back and peddle your hamburgers.
Good morning, everybody.
This is radio station KOAT, Albuquerque.
Bob Bumpas speaking and bringing you another on-the-spot report of the Leo Minosa rescue operation.
- Send up more casings!
- Since the operation began 3 days ago, the drill has cut its way 57 feet closer to Leo.
You have just heard the voice of Sam Smollett, the man who is in charge of the drilling job.
This man, together with Sheriff Kretzer and a crew of volunteer rescue workers, is tirelessly fighting this battle against stubborn rock and fleeting time with a human life at stake.
If anyone can lick this, this curse of the mountain of the seven vultures, they can.
Ladies and gentlemen, something phenomenal is going on here, right in front of this 400-year-old cliff dwelling.
A new community is springing up a veritable town of tents and trucks and trailers.
Standing here, I can pick out licence plates from California, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma.
And more cars pouring in all the time.
And more volunteer workers from all over the state.
还有更多来自全州各地的志愿者。
Top-flight newspapermen from the biggest papers in the country are here.
The most outstanding of these newspaper people is, of course, Chuck Tatum, the courageous reporter who first made contact with Leo last Saturday.
