Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is an American comedy film which was released on July 9, 2004. It was written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The film made $28,416,365 its opening weekend, and $90,540,221 worldwide in its total theatrical run.
The film is a tongue-in-cheek take on the culture of the 1970s, particularly the then-new Action News television-program format. It portrays a San Diego TV station where one female reporter (Applegate) struggles to become the first "Anchorwoman".
Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) is the top-rated anchorman in San Diego in the '70s. When feminism marches into the newsroom in the form of ambitious newswoman Veronica Corningstone (Applegate), Ron is willing to play along at first-as long as Veronica stays in her place, covering cat fashion shows, cooking, and other "female" interests. But when Veronica refuses to settle for being eye candy and steps behind the news desk, it's more than a battle between two perfectly coiffed anchor-persons... it's war. Written by austin4577@aol.com
It's the 1970's as San Diego anchorman Ron Burgundy is the top dog in network TV, which gives way to his freewheeling sexism with his fraternal-like crew. But all that's about to change (or be jeopardized) when ambitious reporter Veronica Corningstone has just arrived as a new employee at his TV station. Written by MonkeyKingMA
