Synopsis
In the 1970s, in San Diego, the top-rated anchorman Ron Burgundy enjoys his celebrity status as the king of the newsroom. However, his world turns upside down when the station hires Veronica Corningstone, an ambitious female reporter. Ron's chauvinistic ways are put to the test as Veronica proves to be a formidable challenge to his male-dominated domain. Amidst hilarious mishaps and absurd news reporting, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a satirical comedy that explores gender dynamics and the absurdity of broadcast journalism in the freewheeling '70s era.
