Director: Oliver Stone

Writers: Eric Bogosian; Oliver Stone

From a play: Talk Radio by Eric Bogosian and Tad Savinar

Based on a book: Talked To Death: The Life and Murder of Alan Berg by Stephen Singular

Producers: Edward R. Pressman; A. Kitman Ho

Keywords: Drama, Talk Radio, Roman à Clef

As outrageous Dallas talk show host Barry Champlain prepares to go national, his strong and abrasive personality preys on the weak minds of his callers, some of whom are unstable right-wing types. Adaptation of Bogosian's play, which was inspired by the story of Denver shock jock Alan Berg. Suspenseful, intense and provocative character study, despite the fact that nearly the entire film is set behind the microphone.
