The Paper

(1994)Directed by Ron Howard112 min · RComedy, Drama
“A behind-the-lines look at work, marriage and other forms of combat.”

Henry Hackett (Michael Keaton), the workaholic editor of a New York tabloid, wants the exclusive on a high-profile murder case before the presses roll. He has one day to get it, with a tempting job offer on the table, a pregnant wife (Marisa Tomei) waiting at home, and a staff that keeps pulling him in different directions. Ron Howard cuts between newsroom desks and phone calls so fast the deadline feels like a physical weight.
