Synopsis – What to Expect from “Mad City”
Mad City is a 1997 crime-drama film directed by Costa-Gavras and starring John Travolta, Dustin Hoffman, and Alan Alda. The film follows an ambitious news reporter, Sam Baily (John Travolta), who is looking for a big story to make his career. He finds it when he meets Max Brackett (Dustin Hoffman), a former museum security guard who has been fired and is now threatening to take hostages in the museum.
Sam is eager to get the story, but finds himself in a moral dilemma when he realizes the consequences of his actions. He must decide between his ambition and doing what is right. Meanwhile, Max is determined to make his voice heard and is willing to go to any lengths to get his message across.
The film follows the story of Sam as he tries to negotiate with Max and the authorities. He must also confront his own conscience as he wrestles with the morality of his actions. As the situation escalates, Sam is forced to make a difficult decision about his career and his moral convictions.
In the end, Sam must decide whether to stand up for what he believes in or to follow his ambition. With the situation becoming increasingly dangerous, Sam must make a choice that will define his future. Mad City is a thrilling and thought-provoking drama that explores the power of the media and the moral dilemmas of ambition.
