English Summary:
John L. "Sully" Sullivan, IV (Burt Reynolds) is the news director of a Chicago-based TV cable news station called Satellite News Network (SNN). His best reporter and ex-wife is Christy Colleran (Kathleen Turner) who decides to go away on a much-needed three-week vacation. After checking in at a resort in rural Ontario, Canada, Christy meets Blaine Bingham (Christopher Reeve), the wealthy owner of an international sporting goods company called Bingham Industries. Over the course of her vacation, Christy and Blaine fall in love.
Christy returns to Chicago with Blaine and goes to SNN studios where she meets with Sully, who orders her to go to the downtown jailhouse where convicted murderer Ike Roscoe (Henry Gibson) is awaiting execution by electric chair scheduled for midnight. Christy accuses Sully of always focusing on the news instead of hers or other's interests and announces she is quitting the TV station and marrying Blaine the day after tomorrow in New York City. Not wanting to let Christy leave him right away, Sully insists on meeting Blaine.
Hungarian Summary:
A rámenős főszerkesztő egy chicagói tévéállomás híradószerkesztőségét vezeti. Elvált felesége a csinos riporternő régóta vele dolgozik, ám egy szép napon felmond: új csatornához hívják, s férjhez menni készül. A férfi rádöbben: sem magánéletében, sem a munkában nem tudná nélkülözni, ezért trükkök sorozatával akarja maradásra kényszeríteni.
