However, there is a huge story developing in Chicago. Ike Roscoe (Henry Gibson) is due to be executed for killing the drug dealer who caused his son's death, unfortunately that dealer was also a cop and eccentric DA Ridnitz (Ned Beatty) is detirmined to have Roscoe go to the chair as part of his campaign to become the governor...
Christy agrees to do one last report for SNN and this sets off a chain of crazy and madcap events involving a pardon, a prison escape and a hunt through government offices while poor Roscoe hides inside a photocopier...
A high energy film with a good quality cast. Turner and Reynolds have great chemistry together and the film is full of good gags sending up the rolling news industry (a well deserved target after all).
