Citizen Kane
»Rosebud« - das ist das letzte Wort, das Charles Foster Kane im Sterbebett auf seinem Schloss Xanadu haucht. "Citizen Kane" schildert die Geschichte des Zeitungsmagnaten, der die öffentliche Meinung Amerikas über Jahrzehnte beherrschte. Sein geschäftliches Leben begann mit viel Enthusiasmus und dem Bekenntnis zur Wahrheit und Unbestechlichkeit. Dann kam der Erfolg, mit ihm Ehrgeiz und schließlich, als er diesen nicht befriedigt sah, die Loslösung von seinen Prinzipien hin zur Korruption durch Macht. Der Reporter Jerry Thompson versucht, mehr über diesen geheimnisvollen Mann zu erfahren...
