The film examines the struggles of a young Orson Welles (Schrieber), RKO studio head George Schaefer (Scheider), and screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Malkovich) in making arguably one of the greatest American films of all time, Citizen Kane. After learning the movie is actually a thinly-veiled and exceptionally unflattering biography, publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst (Cromwell) uses his immense power and influence to try and bury the picture.
