Comment
John Tavolta takes a group of people including children hostage in a museum in an attempt to get his job back. Dustin Hoffman is a television newsreporter who happened to be inside and uses the situation to ressurect his career. This is a critique of how the media can manipulate the news rather than just reporting it.
