Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Comedy starring Will Ferrell. An ambitious female news reporter threatens the cosy, all-male world of a 1970s San Diego newsroom dominated by its sexist, clueless anchorman.

Knockabout comedy set in the sexist world of 1970s newscasting.

Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated anchorman, reigns supreme in the all-male world of television news, until the arrival of an ambitious female reporter upsets the status quo. When she steps in to present the programme in Ron's absence, an uncivil war breaks out in the newsroom.
