《日落大道》美國導演比利懷德編導，本片展現美國媒體圈阿諛我詐、爭搶新聞價值與維持新聞熱度的社會現象。 「壞新聞總是賣得最好，對人們來講好新聞不算是新聞。」 身無分文的記者丘克（寇克道格拉斯 飾）流落一座新墨西哥州的小城，他舌如巧簧向當地報館的主編推銷自己，宣稱自己有製造新聞的天才。 波瀾不驚的小城生活讓曾經供職紐約的丘克倍感無聊。這天，主編令丘克外出採訪，丘克於路卻意外遭遇一名小鎮店主里奧被困山洞。丘克敏感的意識到這件事情背後的新聞價值，他迅速聯繫州長、工程隊與醫生。隨著丘克的一篇篇報導，觀看施救過程的民眾陸續趕來，本欲離開的里奧妻子因為看到有利可圖而選擇留下，並與丘克站到了同一陣營，丘克安排採用費時的營救方式來維持事件的新聞熱度。幾天內人群不斷湧入，營救現場儼然成為遊樂場。丘克與紐約的老上司討價還價之時，洞中的里奧卻走到了生命的盡頭……
