Marking the directorial debut of
Adam McKay, former head writer for
Saturday Night Live and founder of the
Upright Citizen's Brigade,
Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars
Will Ferrell as
Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While
Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of
Veronica Corningstone (
Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in
Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After
Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious
Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on
Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably,
Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes.
Anchorman was co-written by
Ferrell, and features supporting performances from
David Koechner,
Steve Carrell,
Paul Rudd,
Tara Subkoff, and
Maya Rudolph.
