A frustrated former big-city journalist (Kirk Douglas), now stuck working for an Albuquerque newspaper, exploits a story about a man trapped in a cave to rekindle his career. Ace in the Hole is an uncompromising, dark and harsh noirish commentary about the unscrupulous and self-serving actions of compromised tabloid-media journalists. Following on the heels of the merciless Sunset Boulevard, Wilder once again serves up a sharp, biting satire.
